A quick photo lesson on cropping, framing & placement
Hi---Hope you are well. We're much more comfortable now with day temps in the 50's. A nice Florida
winter like it's suppose to be! Just enough for a sweater with a short 30's here and there thrown in.
I've been going crazy to get my new solo show (first time on this scale) printed, matted, framed & delivered
to open on Sunday in the Bethel Gallery of Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church.
WHEW! More info to come.
This image was taken in Georgia on a dead end street in the middle of nowhere---kind of a nice country
road scene. It was nice angled light, but as we kept walking, I saw something I liked better.
This tree had leaves which were lit by the sun. I got down close to the road & shot vertical to accent
the long lines. I liked the road, the fence & the shadows from the fence.
We were closer here and I move over a little to get more of the shadows as they curved onto the grass.
You can see the tree much better & I'm not down as close to the road.
As we got closer to the tree, it was lit nicely and the bending shadows from the road seem to detour
interestingly around it. (I think it was because the tree was on a little rise...or baby hill to the uninitiated.)
This is cropping by moving in on a subject. I like this image the best.
PHOTIP: Keep exploring your options with different framing, cropping & placement of your subject.
Blessings!
