Discussion, Assignment #7, Do Not Post Images until 3/1/06

Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 6:33 pm

Assignment #7 is another Point of View assignment. The title: "Framed".

We are NOT being literal here.

We are taking shots where there is an element in the foreground that frames or partially frames the subject.

The subject can be anything of your choosing. A portrait, a scenic, architectural, macro, etc.

The framing can be anything from branches that frame 1, 2 or 3 sides of the image; or a wall that frames a portrait, or a leaf that frames a macro shot.

The frame in the foreground gives an image great depth. It offers context as well. It demands more of your time in selecting a point of view. Moving a couple of inches to the right or left or up or down will not only change the view of the subject, but it will also change the framing of it--often dramatically.

Think about this now; post not before the first of next month when we mount the sticky.
