CROWDED.

#JJ_FORUM_0889- How amazing is this shot submitted a few days back by @wrongrob? It was one of my very favorite shots of the weeks best theme and inspired our "Crowded" theme for today.

.

#JJ_INSTATIP- "Breaking Rule Number One"-.

.

Personally I feel there is one, most important, "rule" I follow when I'm composing a shot. I clarify and isolate my subject. Another way of putting it, I decide what I want my viewer to look at then I find a way to minimize or get everything else out of the shot.

.

Rules can be broken. :-). I think this shot is a good example. There is no one clearly defined subject to hold onto is there. No silhouette of someone smoking on the roof for example. The subject of this image is a still very strong though, in my opinion. It's just a bit more nuanced.

.

Sometimes your subject is an idea. A feeling. To me the subject of this shot is the crowded, geometric, controlled chaos of the city. And here's the interesting part to me. Even though I can't point to a specific section of the composition as the subject, the number one rule still applies. This picture is about the shapes of the city. For me it works so well because @wrongrob very effectively composed it to "get everything else out of the shot".

.

Looking forward to your pics today. :-). Thanks for all your support on #jj_reboot, my new program to get healthy. And remember, don't forget your 123 please. For every 1 image you tag, comment on 2 in the tag and like 3 others. Thanks for joining in! :-).
