Lens Artists Photo Challenge #66: How You Fill Your Frame

Bouncing between four wonderful hosts each week the Lens Artists Photo Challenge comes at you from some pretty different perspectives, which is always great. Everyone has a different perspective so the four hosts give us some rich flavor in our subjects. This week P.A. Moed shows us how important filling the frame can be to convey our appreciation of the subject.

Here is an example of a photo subject lost in the empty space, leaving the viewer to suppose what is most important. In this case it was merely a function of not wanting to climb the stairs.

 Here is a cropped example of the same photo where the begonia basket is the only thing the viewer can see. It makes a big difference how you frame the shot.

Which Way Photo Challenge – 10/04/19

When I first stumbled across Which Way it was hosted by the venerable photographer and mega blogger Cee Neuner. Since then it has changed hands at least twice, this time resting in the capable hands of Alive and Trekking! Seems like a great time to rejoin the ranks and share some of the signs and roads I have gathered in the interim.

This challenge sets out a broad set of criteria:

• Roads: gravel, asphalt, cobbled, dirt, freeway, expressway, highway, bridges
• Indoor walkways: hallways, aisles, people movers
• Outdoor walks: sidewalks, paths, trails
• Stairs, elevators, escalators, or steps: indoors, outdoors
• Railway tracks, monorails, ski lifts
• Runways and starmacs
• Ferry’s, canals and lochs
• Parking lots, private driveways
• Tunnels
• Signs of any kind: directional, informational, store signs, wind vanes
