Exercise: Fitting the frame to the subject


Experiment with how much space the subject takes up in the frame of the viewfinder The subject of these photographs is one of the stone lions on the steps of the main entrance to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The first picture is the standard shot, with no real thought to composition: f/14, 1/125s, focal length 43.00mm:











The second shot gets in close to the subject, and fills the frame (or most of it): f/14, 1/100s, focal length 80.00mm


The third shot is a detail, also filling the frame: f/16, 1/100s, focal length 147.00mm




And finally, a shot in which the subject occupies only a small part of the frame, and in which the surroundings are emphasised: f/16, 1/100s, focal length 18.00mm:
