These sculptures were at a gallery I stopped by up in Morrisville this week. I like both the close-up for detail as well as the rule-of-thirds pullback revealing a bit more context - the texture of the plaster wall as well as the splash of orange on the exposed framing. (If I was going to do more with this photo, I might want to pull it into Photoshop and try to edit out that shadow, though.)
These next photos are from an "Art of Stone" class I took this last week at Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Warren. This was a practice arch we built as a class before starting work on our main project. In this one, I think shifting the arch to the side really improves he composition of the photo. I like how leaving out the wall on the left side really accentuates the contrast between the curved arch and the straight wall. (It also effectively crops out the cinder block.)

It is pretty cool how the first two shots are of something that is already divided into thirds so it adds some interesting perspective. Also these stone arches everyone keeps posting are beautiful! Good job.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool. I like the bottom shot the most :) It's funny looking at all of my photos I discovered I have primarily put all objects or people in the center of the image. What a great new technique the rule of thirds is. Hopefully I will use it going forward.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work!
