Humans are predators and our primordial instinct is to lock in on our subject. Food, friend, or foe, with pinpoint accuracy. Draw your attention to the airplane above. Tracking it smoothly across the sky is one of the most complicated neurological functions our brain does.
Zebras have found a way to disrupt that with their stripes. After all its a matter of milliseconds of life and death in their world.
Centering is one of the established compositional styles I favor when setting up a shot. It immediately draws the viewer's attention.
I ask you to look at my previous photo and see how I set it up. Now it is quite obvious. With a digital camera it's is easy, but that shot was with an analog camera with an offset viewfinder. Nonetheless it worked.
Spoiler alert: but as photographers our main concern is not with the center of the image, but our attention is how the scene relates to the four corners and frame.

COmposition - il Progetto
Estrapolare dal contesto volumi, colori e forme creando soggettivamente una nuova armonia autosufficiente e dotata di un forte impatto estetico, mantenendo comunque riconoscibili gli elementi della scena di appartenenza; da un mondo nasce un altro mondo.

Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Abondance, Abondance, Haute-Savoie, Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes, France.
La AbadÃa de Notre-Dame d'Abondance es una antigua abadÃa de canónigos regulares de Chablais, situada en Abondance, en el departamento de Alta Saboya, en la región de Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes.
Fue fundada alrededor del año 1100 por monjes de la AbadÃa de Saint-Maurice d'Agaune, quienes deseaban llevar una vida eremÃtica y regular. Abondance fundó rápidamente cuatro abadÃas filiales. Fue suprimida en 1761. Desde 1875, los edificios de la abadÃa están declarados monumentos históricos franceses. Es especialmente conocida por su ciclo de murales que representan la vida de la Virgen MarÃa, que adorna su claustro del siglo XIV.
El claustro probablemente contenÃa unas veinte pinturas; hoy en dÃa, solo se conservan dieciséis en forma más o menos fragmentaria.
Estos murales fueron creados durante la primera mitad del siglo XV. Una fecha generalmente aceptada en torno a 1430. Esto corresponde a la abadÃa de Guillaume de Lugrin o François Ducrest y al reinado de Amadeo VIII de Saboya. Fueron pintadas por un taller piamontés cercano al artista Giacomo Jaquerio, uno de los pintores más destacados de los Estados de Saboya, presente en la región en aquella época.
Representan el ciclo de la vida de MarÃa y dan testimonio de la importancia del culto mariano para los canónigos de San AgustÃn. Las pinturas mejor conservadas representan la Anunciación, la Visitación, la Natividad, el Sueño de José, la Huida a Egipto, Jesús en el Templo y las Bodas de Caná.
La singularidad de este ciclo reside en que representa la historia de la vida de la Virgen en el contexto de la Saboya medieval. De hecho, cada detalle representa la vida de los habitantes de Chablais y el Piamonte en el siglo XV.
En cuanto a la arquitectura, las figuras se alternan en capillas góticas con rosetones y claves colgantes, en cabañas de madera con tejados de tejas y en ricas viviendas piamontesas. Todos estos escenarios están representados con gran detalle: ventanas con parteluces, vidrieras, logias, escaleras, almenas con merlones partidos, etc.
Los paisajes, representados con gran realismo, revelan zonas montañosas, con sus rÃos y bosques, su flora y fauna. Pero el más original sigue siendo el paisaje de La Huida a Egipto, en el que el/los pintor(es) retrataron la región del lago Lemán durante el reinado de Amadeo VIII: el lago Lemán, pero también el Ródano, el Dranse, sus alrededores, las principales ciudades y monumentos.
Aunque representan escenas bÃblicas, estas pinturas están repletas de pequeñas figuras que representan la vida cotidiana en la Saboya del siglo XV: campesinos trabajando en el campo, cazadores a caballo y pastores con perros, un monje y un comerciante de quesos recorriendo los caminos, un barquero, lavanderas, sirvientes y un ahorcado.
En cuanto a la técnica, se aprecian indicios del Renacimiento italiano temprano, y en algunos casos la influencia de Giotto. Estas pinturas presentan intentos de perspectiva (ángulos, ventanas, paisajes, etc.), realzados por composiciones dinámicas y colores cálidos. Finalmente, es innegable que estas pinturas transmiten un mensaje polÃtico: además de los escudos de armas de la Casa de Saboya presentes bajo cada cuadro, en las claves colgantes y las banderas de los monumentos de La Huida a Egipto, representan galeras medievales en el lago, castillos, torres, una horca y, quizás, al propio Amadeo VIII, interpretado por un curioso personaje vestido a la usanza oriental en Las bodas de Caná.
The Abbey of Notre-Dame d'Abondance is a former abbey of regular canons of Chablais located in Abondance in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
It was founded around 1100 by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune, who wished to lead a regular, hermitic life. Abondance quickly founded four daughter abbeys. It was suppressed in 1761. Since 1875, the abbey buildings have been listed as French historical monuments. It is particularly known for its cycle of murals depicting the life of the Virgin Mary, which adorns its 14th-century cloister.
The cloister likely contained around twenty paintings; today, only 16 have survived in more or less fragmentary form.
These murals were created during the first half of the 15th century; a date generally accepted around 1430. This corresponds to the abbacy of Guillaume de Lugrin or François Ducrest and the reign of Amadeus VIII of Savoy. They were painted by a Piedmontese workshop close to the artist Giacomo Jaquerio, one of the leading painters in the States of Savoy, who was present in the region at that time.
They depict the cycle of the life of Mary and testify to the importance of Marian worship for the canons of Saint Augustine. The best-preserved paintings depict the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, Joseph's Dream, the Flight into Egypt, Jesus in the Temple, and the Wedding at Cana.
The unique feature of this cycle is that it depicts the story of the Virgin's life in the setting of medieval Savoy. Indeed, every detail depicts the lives of the inhabitants of Chablais and Piedmont in the 15th century.
As for the architecture, the figures are found alternately in Gothic chapels with rose windows and hanging keystones, in wooden huts with shingle roofs, and in rich Piedmontese dwellings. All these settings are depicted in great detail: mullioned windows, stained-glass windows, loggias, staircases, crenellations with split merlons, etc.
The landscapes, depicted realistically, reveal mountainous areas, with their rivers and forests, their flora and fauna. But the most original remains the landscape of The Flight into Egypt, in which the painter(s) depicted the Lake Geneva region during the reign of Amadeus VIII: Lake Geneva, but also the Rhône, the Dranse, the surrounding area, the main towns and monuments.
Although depicting biblical scenes, these paintings are filled with small figures depicting daily life in 15th-century Savoy: peasants working in the fields, hunters on their horses and shepherds with their dogs, a monk and cheese merchant traveling the roads, a boatman, washerwomen, servants, and a hanged man.
As for the technique, we can see hints of the early Italian Renaissance, and some see the influence of Giotto. These paintings feature attempts at perspective (angles, windows, landscapes, etc.), highlighted by dynamic compositions and warm colors. Finally, it is undeniable that these paintings carry a political message: in addition to the coats of arms of the House of Savoy present below each painting, on the hanging keystones and the flags of the monuments of The Flight into Egypt, they represent medieval galleys on the lake, castles, towers, a gallows, and perhaps Amadeus VIII himself in the guise of a curious character dressed in oriental style in The Wedding at Cana.

Flickr these days, has become less and less about good photography, and more and more like a high school popularity contest. It's becoming pretty comical actually, and these days, I tune in for the humor more than anything...
Hope you all had a good holiday weekend, and got to spend some quality time with your family and friends.
On a side note, there are a lot of photographers that have been taking pictures for years, but still don't have the basics of composition down. I have been photographing seriously for roughly 4 years and I don't claim to be an expert on composition, but it never ceases to amaze me when I see the badly composed crappy images posted by some of these individuals...

A little mid century modern abstract. Original digital painting with procreate, Apple Pencil, and iPad Pro.
Composition looks somewhat forced, awkward. But what the heck I like green slimes.
Thanks for visiting and commenting etc, I'm off to watch Wall-E before going to bed. wooohooo!!
