Composition

Some people just seem to have a great eye for composition - and can frame really good photographs almost without effort. The rest of us need to think about how we frame our subjects and try hard to produce a great composition.

The great landscape photographer Ansel Adams once said

"There are no rules for good photographs,

there are only good photographs."

That said, read about some of the 'rules' or tips that many photographers use.

Assignment

Take at least 30 photographs of something you find interesting. All your photographs should be of the same thing though. Experiment with different compositions. Then select just 3 photographs that you are pleased with, that 'work', post them to your Flikr account and share them with the DBGS Flikr group.
