Nancy Leher's upcoming Compositional Challenges
The next set of Compositional Challenges will focus on 8 compositional elements: Focus, Light, Placement, Line, Color, Movement, Point of View, and Gesture. Every other month Nancy Lehrer introduce examples and information on using one of these specific compositional elements to make stronger images. The focus is to make an exceptional image where the compositional element (focus, light, placement, etc...) is a major contributor to the images' story, mood, emotion, and purpose.
At the January meeting, Nancy described how to use focus and shallow depth of field in order to strengthen an image's story, mood, emotion, and purpose. Images should use a shallow depth of field and the photographer should concentrate on where they are placing the focus, how much of the scene is in focus, and how this contributes to the final image. Remember, all the other compositional elements we have been discussing throughout the years are also important in making a strong image.
Here is a calendar of compositional challenges through April 2013;
