I decided to take all my framing shots at the tennis court. I thought it allowed me to shoot an interesting and dynamic subject and the location gave me plenty of options for framing photographs. I believe all of the framing and sub-framing in my shots does an effective job bringing out the subject and drawing the viewer's eye directly to the subject of the photo. The first frame I was lucky enough to find was this whole in the fence:
I also used the net as a frame for these two shots:
I found an old tire near the court that I was also able to use a nice circular frame for these shots:
My favorite framing shot is this one, which uses one player to frame another player:
Lastly, I used the car's mirror to get this shot with a nice sub-frame:
I LOVE the idea of using a hole in the fence as a frame. It's fantastic. The shots against the nets make use of lines to draw the eye to the subject, which is neat.
ReplyDeleteI like the tire frame that just shows the subjects body. All of these are good shots though. The spitting water shot is pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteGreat Shot in the car mirror.....I almost used this idea :) i also like the fence hole frame and the spit shot.Also great symmetry in the shot of him through her arm...its busy but it fits and i love it.
ReplyDeleteThe tire shot as well as the side mirror shots are really unique. I have the say the way you used the nets to frame as well as the subject spitting water out, really adds to the photo.
ReplyDeleteVery creative ideas, especially using one tennis player to frame another one.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work! Using the player with the racket in hand to frame the other player, in the act of serving the ball and it is in clear, crisp focus… Who could ask for better?
ReplyDeleteI love to see all of the experimentation. It shows me that you are really seeking out this concept. And to limit yourself to one area is an excellent challenge. You have helped to prove the point that art exists everywhere around you…
