Take Better Photos now!

Today we stay with composition. This was taken during one of my photojournalism classes at UCLA for the staff of the Daily Bruin. We walked out on a bridge and looked for promising subjects. There was the usual hustle and bustle of a college campus, but sitting off to the side was a coed having her lunch. Slight tilt of the horizon helped to include the small walls that point toward the subject. For me, they point or lead the way to the subject, who I placed in the convergence of the upper horizontal and the right vertical third. Patience is not only a virtue but neccesary when creating your images. I waited for numerous pedestrians who walked through the frame, hoping the student wouldn’t finish her lunch and leave. Watching and waiting are always good skills to have in your bag. Try to look for a good situation and build the various piece(compositon, lighting, etc.)to make a great image.
