Framing

So I get the idea of framing.  I just found it very difficult to find cool things to frame.  I could never get the right angle.  I didn't have a cool bench between two trees.  I did enjoy this assignment and it made me look really hard at stuff.

A little far away and with the wrong lens for a good frame.

More in focus- but still too far away.

I'm not sure the bridge does the river justice.

I tried to do a double frame with the leaves and using the bridge - not so good.

I shot this looking between deck railings.  Just ok.

Not in love with the shot.

I like this - I shot it from above and looked down at the river.

Equal framing but I don't love the setting.

  1. If you notice, the framing starts to work better as you get closer to the frame. In order for the frame to work successfully you must be able to see what you are framing and have the frame in view, whether it's in focus or not. So, the first image of the bridge from a distance doesn't really work that well. As you move closer, it starts to work better and better. Check this out with a whole bunch of other photographs that you take in the future. Take one when you are immediately inspired and then start to move progressively closer to that thing that inspired you and see the difference that it makes as you do this.
