More About Triangle Composition...

I found so much info about triangle composition so I decided to learn a little about all of the different ideas I read about.
One idea is to have the 3 strong elements in the picture form a triangle. In this picture I used the moon, tree, and tree line.
Twilight...


I also read about another compostion technique using the golden triangle. To use the golden triangle as a compositional guide, you imagine lines going through the frame so that they form triangles with the same angles in them (different sizes, but always the same shape). Looking something like this...

The area just inside the point of the smallest triangle is called a cradle. This is often seen as a good place in the frame to position the elements of your photo.
In this picture the sun shining through is in the cradle spot.


These pictures are just for fun...
Gotta love self timers!
I saw something similar to this online and thought this was a fun family pose. Right then, I grabbed my camera and tripod, and told everyone to hurry outside. This is a completely impromptu photo shoot so please ignore my children. No one wanted to take pictures. Natalee used her hair to cover her face. Preteen girls are SO much fun!


I totally hate how I look in this one but I just LOVE how sweet Jordan looks hanging onto Daddy's leg. She wandered over from Gavin to Daddy while we waited for the timer.


These are a few edited pictures of me...




Thanks for looking.
