How to compose a photo - tip 3


How do I compose a photo?


Another great way to compose a photo is framing!! No not buying a frame for your photo!! ;-)


Framing can be a great way to compose a photo in a different way and to give it like a border with the main image in the middle. An example of this may be to have someone looking through an open window with the window being the frame.


Personally I love framing photos with nature. As you can see in this photo, I took a photo of the wave - it was a perfect day, but I have framed it with the trees and looked through them which has created a frame. It does not need to be a perfect frame by any stretch......nor does it have to be all 4 sides....sometimes just having something else in the composition changes everything! This photo would have been completely different if I had just focussed on the wave only.


The list of things which you can do is as endless and imaginative as you would like to make them! Just remember the object of the photo needs to remain your focus!!......unless of course, you want to use this as another rule breaker and actually make the frame your object....ahhhh now you are thinking aren't you!!! :-) Have fun creating some frames to compose your photo!
