Hi everyone.
This is where to come if you've lost your photo-mojo and you're finding it difficult to work out what to shoot, how to improve your composition, and how to get your "eye" back again.
I'm intending this thread (and the ones to follow) to be open for people who feel that they need to get back to basics in order to improve their photography. Photos submitted should be posted with a view to them being (gently) critiqued by other members. I also invite pros to contribute with guidance for us poor lesser mortals and generally help us out with exploring the fundamentals.
Each month, I'll start a new thread introducing another compositional element to explore. That doesn't mean that each thread will die - far from it, I want each area to continue to be explored and discussed.
The idea is that you should go out and actively look for compositions that includes the subject, you should be very deliberate about what you're shooting, and why. This should really be treated as a learning exercise. It would also be helpful if when you post your shots, you can give a brief synopsis of why you framed it a particular way and what attracted you to take the shot.
REPETITION
Repetition is a form of composition that involved repeating shapes or themes within a photograph. This can be as simple as repeating a shape (like lamp-posts in a street or sheep in a field), or it can be something more subtle like repeating a theme (a mood, a colour, a texture, etc.)
As a guide, do what you can to use the repetition as a way of enhancing the composition and not overpower it.
Please try to take photos this month (December) as opposed to looking through your past collection for examples. The object of this exercise is to encourage you to look for these compositional styles during your photographic sessions.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with this month.
