Exercise 11

Project - Dividing the frame

Exercise - Balance

In this exercise I have to take 6 of my shots and draw out the balance of the composition.

Composition 1

Until I did this I actually thought this shot was well balanced - because o the strong dividing line - but now I'm thinking I should have pointed to the right slightly. I think.

Composition 2

Not sure if I should have had each band as a separate rectangle or not?

Also, this would imply that the shot is not balanced - is that wrong? It's better than the car being dead centre surely? Or does the fact that the car is pointing into the shot kind of extend the length of the car...?

Composition 3

This was certainly the hardest as there are no defined, separate subjects or delineations between parts of the picture.

Composition 4

Fairly obvious this one.

Composition 5
