Rather than trying to include the entire subject or object in the frame, have you ever tried shooting just half of it?
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in 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. Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, 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?
- In this week’s challenge.
- I would like us to experiment with this method of composition.
- Is to photograph objects or subjects but only in its middle.
- In photography the unusual tends to have a greater impact on the viewer.
- Half a lemon attracts.
- Asks more and counts more than a whole lemon.
- Two halves of loaves of bread.
- One integral and the other normal; a half-full glass symmetrically; A half-sided portrait or two two-sided halves in the same composition.
- By composing with halves.
- You can explore many ideas and get very creative photos.
As usual, to participate in this week’s challenge, take your photo to the Facebook wall of the photographer’s blog: In the photo description, please mention the keyword “Half 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 photo
The halves matter more than the whole parts. They provoke you more. Look at some photos from my readers. They are photos that seem to contain something beyond what is covered by the naked eye. Final pieces not counted. When you look at a photo of “half”, like it or not, you are part of it, like it or not, your mind is exploring the probabilities of the other half, looking for explanations. You try to find normality in an unusual photo. The challenge of enjoying a photograph of halves is an experience like no other. Take advantage of these 15 examples that show the different ideas of creativity of the readers of this blog.
If I start to analyze each one separately, all the photos in the selection deserve a careful and delicious analysis, but since I have to get wet, this week I am going to take the photo of Yoli, who sought originality in a portrait of half of the face of an animal, I suppose a position complicated enough to take the photo, with a very successful feeling of closeness between the animal and the viewer, the focus of the animal’s eyes in this type of posture is complicated, but in general the composition of the photo, with the means at the disposal of the photographer, is very well done.
Very nice shot. Congratulations.
