EXERCISE- OBJECTS IN A DIFFERENT POSITIONS IN THE FRAME

OBJECTIVE TAKE FOUR TO FIVE IMAGES WITH THE SUBJECT IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS IN THE FRAME

• RIGHT OF CENTRE
• A LITTLE WAY FROM THE CENTRE
• CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE CORNER

The sequence of photographs below show the same subject taken with the subject at different focal points within the frame.


The above image shows the subject in the centre of the frame



The above photo shows the subject at the right hand corner of the frame


The above image shows the subject slightly off centre of the frame

The above image shows the subject from a lower view point.

I think the image that works best is the image where the subject is off centre and on a line of a third. The photo where the subject is in the centre looks un balanced, even though the subject is in the centre. If the subject is too close to the corner, it seems to cut the subject off and there is no space around the subject for your eye to move around.

Below is a sequence of image taken of Nelson's column against the bright sky. I positioned the subject ,

• RIGHT OF CENTRE


• CENTRE


• LEFT OF CENTRE

I think in these example images the image looks more balanced on the right hand side of the frame. In the centre the image seems to cut the frame in half . Placing the subject on a line of the third, makes the image feel more spacious and allows also you to be able to crop the frame more easily.

LEARNING NOTES/COMMENTS

I THINK THE POSITION OF THE SUBJECT SHOULD BE BALANCED ALONG WITH THE BACKGROUND OR OTHER OBJECTS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH. SINGLE ITEMS OR POINTS ARE BETTER MORE BALANCED PLACED ON A LINE OF A THIRD.
