Composition | Framing



For this week assignment I was on vacation in Louisville, Kentucky and for my framing shots I decided to use the inside of the bus we rode down to the city in as my framing device of r most of these shots ands I don’t think the results are the greatest examples of framing I could have had but I chose to use item anyway because I feel the bus gives the photos a connectedness that I enjoyed and they show of some of the challenges of trying to take photos while moving.

The first three photos are out the front of the bus windshield, my original intent was to try and get photos of the bank building because even from a distance i found its architecture very interesting to look at. What I find very interesting in these photos is that between the three of the the focus of the shot moves from the building to the truck in front of us, an expected but interesting subject and I felt the showed framing well, the one thing I would change is that I would have walked to the front of the bus and got rid of the stupid sticker on the windshield which distracts from the rest of the photo.






The fourth shot was of a bridge I saw in passing on the way into the city, For the photo I chose to use the ground as the subject of the shot to frame away the bottom of the photos I had been taking of it before which was mostly just water but I thought the ground would work better. The one thing I didn’t think of was the fact I was taking photos sideways out of a moving bus which caused the texture of the ground to smear and distract from the bridge.




The final shot I my favorite even though I didn’t come out how I had expected. I had planned to a take photos of the cars in front of the bus but this time when I tried, the dirt and grime from the windshield was the only thing I could get into focus but I feel it made for made very interesting shot na dI think the framing of the inside of the bus and the windshield wipers combined to make a great frame.
