Copyright © Phil Dodd 2013 All Rights Reserved. So, as the title suggests, this is natures composition not mine ! The Coot here is on the family nest & that little red dome you can see within the nest area is their chick, & this is as a much of view as I got of it in all of the time I was there - this chick is well protected. Wonderful to witness the chick being fed & also protected from a Black Backed Gull that seemed to have his eye on it for lunch. Thanks for looking and / or commenting, have a great coming week....
Best Regards,
Phil.
Compositionally Challenged week 28 is Cropping.
I wanted this shot to tell a story and it seemed that only a portrait-oriented crop would let it do that.
I did clone out a few light distractions in the dark room on both versions, because I like to get rid of distractions, regardless of cropping.
In Week 49, we explored ways to create blur with our cameras through a variety of techniques.
This collage features photos from participating members. Find out more at Compositionally Challenged, where we aim to inspire creativity and improve our technical skills.
Ooops. While shooting a portrait this morning, I do believe I should've been a little more attentive to my framing and composition. Needless to say, this particular series won't be published.
I was asked to take photographs for photoschool FotiniaZ. They want pictures that illustrate the features of each course. Here are some of them.
Trying to only work on getting this composition right on what was already a picture perfect scene. Taken at Berrington Hall Herefordshire

Compositionally Challenged week 30 is Landscape with Foreground Interest. For this shot, I had the camera on the edge of a boat dock, less than a foot above water. From this low POV, the choppy water is the foreground interest.
Gypsum from the Quaternary of Oklahoma, USA.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6000 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The sulfate minerals all have one or more sulfate anions (SO4 -2).
Gypsum is a moderately common hydrous calcium sulfate mineral (CaSO4·2H2O). Gypsum has a nonmetallic luster, is usually clearish to whitish, is soft (H≡2), and rather fragile/brittle. Gypsum has 3 cleavage planes, one of which is well developed (“one good cleavage), and the other two are not well developed (“two poor cleavages”). Broken gypsum specimens are frequently thin plates - the consequence of the one good cleavage plane. Unbroken crystals show monoclinic symmetry.
Gypsum has economic value as a mineral. It is the starting ingredient for making plaster and wallboard.
The specimen shown above is an polycrystalline mass of intergrown gypsum crystals from Oklahoma. Many refer to such things as "selenite", which is an unnecessary junior synonym of gypsum. Selenite differs in no way from gypsum. Selenite is gypsum. Use of the term "selenite" should be discouraged.
This Oklahoma gypsum formed by evaporation of rising groundwater that is rich in dissolved minerals ultimately derived from dissolution of ancient evaporite rocks. Sediments through which the groundwater percolated have become incorporated in the gypsum (click on the photo to zoom in and look around).
Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site at Great Salt Plains, northwestern Oklahoma, USA
