Looking through the viewfinder 1

Exercise 6  Fitting frame to the subject

Having taken on a 366 challenge to post a photo a day on Flickr for all of 2012, I had already started to look around each day wherever I was for any possible/ interesting photo shot. Since starting this course this activity has now blossomed into an almost constant search for possible subjects and settings whether I'm out and about or musing / chilling out at home. My casual, interested look is slowly turning into a more critical one given a few fories out recently to what seemed like good settings only to be defeated by the detail needed in the photo challenge.

So for this exercise, I tried a boatyard, local children's playground  before a font caught my eye with its interesting shape and play of light.
The idea was to take at least four shots; a conventional viewpoint; the subject shot to exactly fit the frame; a detailed shot; and lastly placing the subject within a landscape.
