Fill The Frame |
This is a blog circle! Composition: One of the most important things in my opinion to photography. Filling the frame with your subject can help tell the story you want to portray to the viewer. By filling the frame, you eliminate unneeded space in the image. When the unneeded space is eliminated from the image, it creates a less busy image, focused solely on the subjects and avoids distracting backgrounds. It also helps to bring out the details in a shot, because the more subject in the image, the more detail is seen. Filling the frame doesn't mean there can't be any space around the subject, as seen in the image of Smudge, a Havanese. She still fills the entire frame, leaving little empty space in the composition. | CKC & CFC Ch. LosSombra's Little Cover Girl CGN *Smudge* |
Cropping can be a good way to fill the frame if unable to do so in camera while shooting, but trying to get the composition as close as you want it in camera is best. While filling the frame with the subject, it's good to remember the Rule of Thirds for arranging the composition.
This technique can be used for any subject from landscape, people, kids, pets, still life; any subject you can think of.

Above are images of CFC Ch. Filipe's Freyja at LosSombra. She is a Barbet (French Water Dog) and the dam of the pups I posted in the previous blog; Rule of Thirds. She does in fact have eyes under the fur.

Your water dog is a wonderful model and I love that her eyes are not distracting from her nose in that first closeup. ;)
