These are both for the 52 week challenge - week 46 - with the theme of "Golden Triangles" and their use in the composition of images. This is a new idea to me and involves the arrangement of the main points of interest along three individual imaginary lines. The first line is a diagonal, the second line drops from one corner down to the diagonal at 90deg, the third line drops down to the diagonal from the other corner, also at 90deg. Lizard 1 has only the diagonal, lizard two has more background which gives him the diagonal plus the suggestion of the other two lines along the edges of the rocks. I don't know if I'm imagining it but lizard 2 does seem to be a better composition? Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Cheers Rob
Great composition and focus. I like this one more - mainly because he has spotted you and is looking straight down the lens!
I will have to do some googling as well - I thought the Golden Triangle was the latest on-trend holiday destination ;)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Hi Jackie - I found it easier to go back and check out my photos - the ones I had been really happy with often had that diagonal and a suggestion of the other two lines with something of interest positioned along them. Thinking about it - it is probably easier for them to appear when you just use a Point and Shoot - so lightweight that you automatically move the camera around to subconsciously achieve a nice composition. Anyway - it seems a really good thing to have learnt. Cheers Rob
@4rky LOL 4rky - I immediately thought of the drug growing triangle!! Dorothy commented on the other lizard shot - she said that she liked this one for his eye and the other one for the composition. That seemed to be a really good summary. Thanks for your comment. Cheers Rob
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Hey Jackie - I was just replying to comments on the polar bear photo and I had another look at it. I have subconsciously done the week 46 Golden Triangle idea when I put it together - the diagonal in the background - one side line with the bears and the other sideline with the icebergs!!! How cool is that!! :)
