Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2004 9:16 pmVery nice Matt. Very vibrant.
We have been a bit starved around here for the rules of composition recently, any chance of a few more? The middle sensor on my cam is becoming worn out!

Don’t worry about rules Glen - photography is based on emotions and we all know there are no rules when it comes to emotions!!!

Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2004 7:45 pmHere's one Glen
Never photograph anything from the position where it is normally seen. For instance...if you are walking along a footpath and see a child with a dog that you wish to photogaph....if you photograph them from the standing position, which is the position any passerby would see them, then you have lost image imapct. If, however, you drop down to one knee and photograph the scene, then you are presenting the viewer with an unusual point of view, and, ergo, a stronger and more interesting image.

Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2004 8:24 pmExcellent tip Matt. The other thing that jumps out and grabs me about your image (besides colour) is the splendor of Depth of Field.
I'm sure this is a factor in the "rules" of composition

I have trained myself to be sensitive to backgrounds as part of my camera work flow. Often an image will only work because of the background. Often I spot the background first and will wait for something to come along or put something in front of it. I have a folder full of backgrounds that I have photographed and sometimes, usually with portraits, cut and paste into a complementry background. I always see the background before I press the shutter. They are a very important compositional element.
Hope this is useful.

Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2004 8:36 pmThanks Matt, I wholeheartedly agree with that one and appreciate every rule we are getting here. My friends think I have a brick wall phobia 
Truly Matt, very much appreciated

You should see Matt's portfolio of brick (and stone) walls.

Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2004 2:26 amLove your work Matt. Especially the use of texture and colour in Rockpool4. I was also really struck by the framing of your giraffe. Haven't seen that before and the result is eye-catching. I couldn't help clicking on it for a closer look.

Wow, had a sticky nose through your gallery, there's some very nice shots in there... I really like some of your composition, makes for very interesting shots...
