Adventures in Framing

Court Rock

Just a few random shots taken as I was looking for "framing" opportunities. Pics taken with my Nikon point-and-shoot. The last two were at maximum optical and digital zoom. I was wishing for my DSLR when I saw the owls.

This was an interesting assignment.  "Asymmetry" is open to interpretation.  One could say that any photo that is a good example of rule of thirds is also an example of asymmetry.  But the approach I decided on was to take photos where one might expect symmetry, or that might look symmetrical at first glance, but actually not be symmetrical.

So, having run my mouth on for a while, let's see what you all think.

Obviously Randal and I saw the moon and had the same thought:

As-ymmetry As-signment

Pointed Asymmetry

A bit more symmetry observed on this evening's walk:

As always, constructive comments welcome!

Spot the symmetry!

Symmetry @ The Spring . . . Sorta

Local Symmetry

Three for Thirds

Ah, the rule of thirds.  The first guildeline I became aware of when I started to take this photographee thing a bit more seriously.

Yes, there was a car show in town today.

Heck, let's include a couple just for the fun of it, rule of thirds or not.

An odd perspective on a 'Vette

One more car off the (very top of) the bucket list.

I wanted to capture images of the old original 1920s golf course north of Pioche before it was completely gone. Years back, steel poles with sheet steel numbers were at each hole as well as drags to smooth the sand greens before putting. Unfortunately, there's not much left: 2 benches, a few course markers, what's left of the club house, and of course the "greens."   I was using two cameras. The differences should be obvious. To begin, one of two benches

 a hole marker in the foreground and a "green" behind it

a bird that wanted it's picture taken

and getting there, remains of a WWII truck cab

Okay, here are some more converging lines shots, taken just for this assignment!

As always, comments and criticism welcome!
