This section includes tips on composition and includes things like ensuring you have a subject, framing, the Rule of Thirds, perspective, and so on.  The comments that follow are attempts to apply one or more of the tips.  To kick it off, I took the following photos on the patio yesterday morning when the early sun was backlighting the hanging baskets and the grapes.  I was trying to find an angle that captured how “awakening” the scene is every morning.  Here’s what I got…

This first photo is the “standard” picture of the scene.  I did make sure I cleaned off the counter top and turned all of the wine bottle lights so that the labels were facing the camera, but other than “documenting” the scene, the photo is otherwise not particularly interesting.

For this one, I tightened up the framing a little bit.  I wasn’t sure I’d like it since it didn’t include the whole outdoor kitchen, but the framing was better.  We now have the plants as our subject but we still don’t have the impact of the lighting effect.

This is what I was after.  Using the rule of thirds and the rule of balance, I placed the bougainvillea in the upper right third, and the reddening grapes in the lower left third.  I shifted the camera just slightly in order to include the patio post on the right to help frame the whole thing.  Now the plants are clearly the subject and we’re close enough to see how the light is highlighting them against the shaded slope.  In the full resolution picture (click on it to open it), you can even see that some of the grapes are backlit as well!

So, what’s a flower scene without a close up?  Yeah, I had to do it, and while it turned out to be sort of interesting with that tiny little white flower in sharp focus amidst the brightly lit and colorful bracts, the angle is terrible.  I should have climbed up on the counter and taken the shot at a downward angle.       There’s always tomorrow, right?

Finally, just because it was there, I shot this one before getting to work.  I was intrigued by the single red flower brightly lit against the dark green shaded leaves.  I took just this one shot because it worked.  Too close and you have just another flower close up from the wrong angle.  Too far and you have another busy picture.  So instead, I included enough to show that it’s a hanging basket, but I used the widest aperture I had, and my telephoto lens in order to create the smallest depth of field I possibly could.  I had to stand back about ten feet because of the telephoto lens.  But… if you look closely, that single lit flower is the ONLY thing in the photo that is in perfect focus!  The leaves right in front are blurred just a bit, and any background distraction is gone.

OK Alicia… Can’t wait to see what you do with the composition tips!
