Posted by DawnPatrol This is an excellent question that I'm glad you posted and I'll be very interested to see how others respond. It's something that's not exclusive to UE photography and I still struggle with it personally. |
Posted by blackhawk The Lego shoot isn't working at all for me. Keep the blur in the background unless you have a very good artistic reason not too. The big blurred piece in the middle screws it from the get go. Too high, too much angle downward and the face that should have been the center piece of the image is buried instead of standing out. Lines of the blocks could have been framed better too. |
Posted by tiffers ...difference of opinion! Had I been eye level with it, you wouldn't have seen it. The face block is the subject, therefore, the only thing in focus (also adds depth). ...and I rarely center anything. Hahaha. Center is boring. |
Posted by blackhawk You can arrange them effortlessly. Why not optimize it? |
Posted by Pongo It's like a snapshot through her eyes actually exploring, instead of an explorer actually photographing. |
Posted by tiffers I don't arrange crap. It's not how I do things. I very, very, VERY rarely move something for the sake of a shot. I'm not one of those folks. It's just not my style. ...and somehow this has become you crapping on my photo when I was merely using it as an example to explain what I was telling the OP. lol Mercy. I take photos that I like...for me, not necessarily for anyone else. You have documentary photographers, by-the-book-no deviation photographers, artsy-fartsy photographers, and photographers who merely take photos for their own enjoyment. I'm somewhere between the last two. Hahaha. |
Posted by blackhawk The OP is presumably trying to avoid documentary style photography. Neither of your photos address his root problem of a somewhat drab, cluttered site filled with rubble, to be perfectly frank. |
Posted by blackhawkMoving items around to gain better composition in photography is perfectly acceptable except in journalism or if for documentation. |
