Red Umbrellas of Sicily by Glyn Ridgers
Cool image of a bar in Sicily….the harsh sunlight and the deep shadows within the alleyways would have been impossible to expose for uness I used bracketing and HDR techniques…..
Hope you like the image I think it lends itself to being a nice peice of wall art in a coffee shop….

Quick Tips—-Basic Composition by Glyn Ridgers
Basic Composition
The basis of a well taken photograph is composition. If we learn and practice and use the “Rule of Thirds” theory or “Golden Mean” to place various elements of the image within the frame then we generally get a well balanced image that is easy on the eye. The Rule of Thirds is where we divide the frame up into nine portions and place the points of interest along these lines or within the boxes as you can see by the image of the rose that the vase is positioned in the upper left 9th box and the stem leads you across the image towards the flower that is occupying the boxes on the right side of the frame.
It is more often than not best to have the main subject off centre than slap bang in the middle to provide us with a more interesting and dramatic result unless we are aiming at producing an image of symmetry or if we are producing product and packshot pictures.
On this image below called “Sinister” you can see many of the subjects that make up the image are on the intersecting junctions of the lines giving a technically accurate use of the rule of thirds
However the subjects do not have to be exactly on these lines or within the squares but meant as a good guide for composition..
The use of the rules of third is a good guide to composing your images however do not adhere to this all the time…experiment with your compositions and remember to have fun.
More basic tips coming soon.
