For these shots of Karl I wanted to play around with the idea of portraits not involving the face.
Can you tell things about someone just from the location they are in and the clothes on there back (literally).
Composition was a key factor in this set, I tried to use negative space to my advantage to get a constant feel throughout.
[Lesson 2] Story-telling Composition.
My caption:
"Not my favourite composition of the week for storytelling photos, but I was having trouble with getting everything in focus and this I think was one of my best ones in terms of focus. Also, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why I took this at f/16 and not f/22, other than I wasn't thinking straight at all :)"
Bryan's critique:
"Gemma,
Actually at the distance you are from the fence here f/16 is just fine and it looks like you have technique down and now we need to just have that stronger opening line and here that would mean getting up MUCH closer to the fence so that we have just one line of the barb and the texture of the wood on the right and that would have a lot of detail and texture to get that opening line stronger.

Is she centered in the frame? You decide. This photo, submitted for a grade in the photography class I am taking, was declared to be so compositionally bad (i.e. subject was said to be centered) that I might as well admit it is the photographic equivalent of writing a poem in which one rhymes "moon," "June," and "spoon." Hmmmmm. Should I send this one to the Flickr group "Worst of the Worst"? Please comment.
some of the pages I did for the journal swap......these are the artsy ones I put in the book.. I borrowed some page ideas from different site sI ran across
Jolie composition de surfinias chez un voisin. (Avant je mettais moi aussi des jardinières avec des surfinias, mais à chaque orage ils devenaient trop lourds et tombaient des fenêtres)
Prette surfinia composition at a neighbour's. (In the past I had surfinias myself but every time that got wet they became too heavy and fell off the window)
