Looking through the viewfinder - A sequence of composition


This exercise is applying all the previously learned rules about composition. I decided to document a cricket game. 

As I approached the playground I used the rule of thirds. I framed the players in the top so there was as less as possible of distraction from trees and houses in the background.

I have chosen fast shutter speed to freeze movement.

I framed the main character little off centre and made sure there are other people placed in different distance to see the depth of the playground.

I have tried to freeze fast action.

I used the panning technique to keep the moving object sharp and motion blur those static ones.


Looking through the viewfinder - Object in different position in the frame


On this exercise we shoot couple of pictures where the object is placed on clean background. Just by the different position of the object in the frame all composition and feeling changes.

The first picture was taken just point and shoot. The object ended in the middle and this composition is not very pleasing. The object is lost in the background and is not  very appealing to the eye.

In others pictures the composition was changed and they are ordered so that the last picture is most pleasing to the eye.
