Wall
Flower I'm a bit
disappointed with this one, not for the composition but because
the bright wall went all muggy and made the shot underexpose.
You win some, you lose some, and you've just got to be aware of
the conditions (such as a big white wall in your shot) and how
your camera is going to react to them (i.e. say 'Wow - loadsa
light, I'm gonna shut down here and low and behold, your lovely
bright wall comes out looking like porridge)!
You often get nice triangular shapes up on walls, with a street
name or number, a window of some sort, and another architectural
element or curiosity which you can combine and play with
creatively. Here the triangle's the number, the face and the
window box, but the shot isn't very 'clean' with the window
itself a bit too strong and the funny little thing at the bottom
getting in the way, I see now in retrospect.
But in any case, the opportunities are always there - it's
amazing what some people will put on the walls of their houses
and apartments, so look up and learn! |
