Lens-Artists Challenge #66 – Filling the Frame

[Categories: Photography, Photography 101 Forever
[Photos this week are hosted right here on WordPress.  Somewhere…  serene.]

[Right-click on a photo might open it in a separate tab or window.]

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Patti

Per her: “You can think of the frame as the edge of a photograph, or the edges of the viewfinder that you use when you raise the camera to your eye.  The advice to fill the frame means to get in close, and make sure your subject occupies a significant amount of space in your shot.

All these were taken yesterday.  Only one of the series has been cropped.

First, un-fulfilling:

Zoom-zoom.  Filled:

One and done.  Bridge over un-troubled waters:

Silky waters, hand-held, uncropped:

Same photo, cropped, less busy:

Have an itch?  Scratch it.  Hemingway would be jealous.  (The Old Man and the Sea.) Zoomed:

Less is more.  Enjoy.

Weekly Challenge info from Tina:

If you choose to participate, please make sure to tag your post with the name of our group LENS-ARTISTS so that all of the responses can be found together in the WP Reader.

  1. What a difference between your 2 butterfly shots! Beautiful colors and patterns in that butterfly. The impact of the running stream is also heightened with the crop. Great examples of before and after, John.

  2. Beautiful capture John! My slow internet had trouble loading which happens at my end when photos are set to largest size on WP, but what I saw was gorgeous, love the stream close up and butterfly close up.

  3. Thank you for mentioning “less is more” concept, John! This helps understand filling the frame better. Beautiful series, I love the butterfly capture. The last one is very cool!!

  4. Beautiful images John, I love the zoom-zoom filled shot of the butterflies and the uncropped silky waters – it’s nice to see a glimpse of the forest where they flow 🙂🌲💦
