Composition

All my friends know how much I am into photography. I am no expert in this field, it is just a hobby. The thrill is to be able to capture the beauty of the scene or subject in the photo or even more satisfying to be able to capture the expression or the ambiance. Which is not something so easy to do. 

In photography, one of the skill or technique to capture a good shot is how the photo is being composed. A good example is in the photos below. The 3 photos shows the different angle on how a picture can be composed. The technique or the trick is to have the visual or composition to be simple or uncluttered, and if possible provide a balance, perspective and harmony to the photos. It will be easier of course if we have a theme in mind. All the award winning photos have these elements and more. Others also include framing, unity, rhythm, scale, to name a few.

Same goes with how we live our life. Our life can be "pleasant" too if we consciously live our life with certain rules in mind. Work to make it simple and uncluttered, keep our relationship with people around us in balance and harmony. And keep everything in a certain perspective. Like photography, it is something that we need to work at with a conscious effort for continuous improvement. 

I have not taken my camera for a walkabout for quite awhile. It is one of my top to-do-list for sure! 

To all the camera or photography enthusiast out there, hope that it had been a productive week end!
