Triangle Composition...

This week's composition challenge was triangle composition. I found all kinds of information online about triangle composition, unfortunately, each site said something different than the last. The main idea seems to be a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite corner, which makes the photo more dynamic. So, I just kept the info I read in mind and played around. Here's what I ended up with.

I had to play with my macro lens!

I just discovered an interesting site - An Open-Ended Course in Photography- that explains the golden triangle. I will be practicing this composition over the next week, then posting more next Saturday.

A Little About Me & Photography

I have always enjoyed photography. As a young girl I remember driving my parents crazy always using the camera and begging them to pay extra for one hour processing. Thank goodness for digital. I love the instant gratification being able to see the photo instantly on the back of the camera. One day I made a cute little tutu and had my daughter model it for pictures. They were some of the best I had ever taken. As I looked over those photos I thought, "I want to learn more." Since then I have taken courses and joined photography groups for knowledge and support as I learn more about photography. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have patiently allowed me to practice on them. Thanks to my sister, Amy, who joins me in this learning journey. A big thank you to my sweet husband who supports and encourages me in all I do. There is so much satisfaction when I capture that perfect shot. I want to capture the everyday moments in a beautiful and creative way. I want to document the ordinary. Like the saying goes..."Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." I hope to record the little things with my photography. Little moments captured forever. It's like time in a bottle.
