Composition is used in this photo by making clear the balance (symmetrical) of the houses.
I took this photo in the afternoon while the light was still bright enough to make a reflection of the houses on the lake.
I edited it by turning it on 180° and cropping it.
If I could change something I wouldn't, this is the best photo ever
Taken with Canon XTi 400D in manual exposure and manual focus modes.
One of my favorite hats, a Canon lens, and a Diet Pepsi bottle.
What a fascinating assignment! A la Matisse, I cut out random shapes from an old desktop sketchpad that had all my old spills, scribbles, and paint blobs. I used a small pen-like rotary cutter as scissors are too hard on my thumb/hand. Then I had some old 5 x 7 matboard so I brayered some black acrylic on those. Then I glued...and figuring out which way to orient them, portrait or landscape, was the greatest fun AND challenge. At first I had only single shapes, but then realized I wanted the pieces relational somehow, then the moon idea came.
I just never realized how powerful and evocative shapes were before this exercise. THEY TELL STORIES - but I dare say, different stories for each of us. I feel as though I will be able to tiptoe into some non-objective paintings based on this experiment. Thank you, Leslie!
