WEEKLY INFORMAL CHALLENGE 145: "Simplicity"

Post Thu Jan 17, 2013 3:47 pm


Weekly Informal Challenge number 145 is "Simplicity"

"You don’t take a photograph, you make it." -Ansel Adams

There is a core element of great photography known as simplicity. Please beware of simplicity's alter egovagueness. More or less I agree that less is more. Be careful because sometimes less is—less. Simplify your photography. Stop, however, before you remove those supplemental visual elements that can complement the center of interest/subject.

Find a visually interesting subject, then work the foreground, middle ground and background to generate a complimentary balance based on the color, form or mood suggested by the original subject. This approach builds by adding to the subject and can introduce a great deal of personal expression into your picture taking. Be sure to HAVE FUN!

It's so cold to go outside to shoot,
so this is as simple as I can see.
