Small gestures like getting closer to the subject can completely change the final shot. In this week’s challenge, we’ll be practicing this famous composition rule.
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in a photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. from portraits to macro photography, landscapes, black-and-white photography, or babies. The themes will be offered on Saturday, so you have the whole weekend to work. You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week. Friday or Saturday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and propose a new theme, and so on?
- Filling the frame is a basic and essential trick that you will find in any photographic composition manual.
- Even so I still see photos.
- Almost daily.
- Of subjects that have been photographed disproportionately compared to the setting that contains them.
- Getting closer to the subject.
- Either walking towards it without fear or using a greater focal length.
- With this.
- We can “fill” the frame with the face or body of the subject (or object).
Filling the frame can have several benefits, including
I ask you in every challenge and this time I wasn’t going to miss it, while you fill the photo frame, enjoy and tell something, convey an emotion, create a story. Doesn’t it have to be a graphic novel, with a smile, surprise, compassion or any other feeling or emotion in the viewer?Did you come out as the winner of the challenge?
As usual, to participate in this week’s challenge, upload your photo to the Facebook wall of the photographer’s blog: In the description of the photo, include the keyword? Complete the challenge? followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Good picture
Like every Friday, I present here my modest and subjective weekly selection for this week’s challenge, Filling The Frame. As you can see, with the excuse of filling the frame, you can shoot almost anything: portrait, pet, baby, forest, window and even pipes. By completing the frame, we can give prominence more easily, focus the viewer’s attention and accentuate the quality or adjective that we want to highlight the most. Here is the selection of the week.
Karina’s “God Hurt You” is a photograph you can’t stop looking at. Unlike a flat, explicit photograph that conveys the message in a millisecond, “God bless you” wowed me for several seconds, perhaps a few minutes because it was closing. opening, closing and reopening. Beautiful composition in which the frame was filled, the main subject (protagonist in part) is in one corner of the frame. That is obviously the first thing you look at. Then you travel through the rest of the frame, flying over the heads of the “faithful”, who are a kind of second protagonist.
Congratulations Karina. Successful composition.
