Compostion

Here is a link to a site I found particularly helpful with regards to composition.
 BASIC PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES

It had great diagrams as well as photographs to demonstrate their points. It has a lot of information and is organized well.

Framing Photos

This is my centered image. It is pretty boring.

This is the image I composed using the rule of thirds. I think its much more interesting. The contrast is better as well.

 So this week I was stuck inside with the flu or something like it so all my photos I took more or less from bed. The two color schemes I chose to photograph were analogous  and complementary.

 The three types of lighting I tried were candle light, daylight, and and interior light.

I like the look of the candlelight best, I think it works well with the warmth of the beige and the reflections look interesting on the glass.

Here is a photo collage of some minerals, fossils, and coral.
