Fitting the frame to the subject

Sunday 17th April 2011

I decided to visit the sculpture garden at Rufford Country Park because there would be several possibilities - cars in the ford, sculptures, memorial garden, play area.

Subject fits frame 1/250 F5 ISO 100


Tightly cropped 1/400 F5.6 ISO 100

I am not entirely happy with this shot. I focused on the living insect inside the daffodil. On reflection, I think it may have been better to focus on the stone behind and have the daffodils out of focus.

This would look better cropped to remove the post on the left and straighten up the line at the top of the wall. I would also move the daffodils to the left slightly. See below:


Red line denotes crop line.

 
The proportion of my photos are similar to those in the course folder.

I took two series of 4 photographs as I couldn't decide which set to use. I had problems with Blogger as one of the photos which I took in portrait and saved that way to my computer insisted on turning itself round and becoming horizontal. So after much reading and trying to find out how to correct it, I have posted my second set.
