July 9, 2014 To study and to play. My photo composition study is very elementary – sort of like Kindergarten – But tell me, am I making any progress? Hey, I maintain a blog for the TGO PHOTO CLUB at: tgophoto.wordpress.com Please follow it too!
Now I have been studying how to compose an image. I like the next one better! Fist the eye must know where to look even in a busy photo. I focus on the wood lily. Then, since we read right to left and down, your eye should follow that path – and back around to the beginning – to the rock then back around thru the foreground to the wood lily. Generally lines should be in diagonal – not vertical and horizontal — I think they are from top left to lower right! What fun to study.This is not a serious photo – It is just me playing with PhotoShop. Why did I play. Well maybe I remember what Oliver Wendell Holmes said: “Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing”
Since I did one of these yesterday my body is a little tight, so ………My golf game today may go like this – Well, on this league we truly play golf… you know, be sure to get the beer out of the pick-up before the golf bags – priority sequence! So, no one really gets mad like this!
