Weekly Photography Assignment: Creative Composition

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.

Week 109: Creative Composition

Our theme this week is Creative Composition. There are a number of rules that photographers often find themselves abiding by, the rule of thirds is one example. Sometimes we have to break these rules to create something unique and eye-catching. Show us how you break these composition rules! 

Here are some tutorials to help you:

• The Importance of Composition
• Composition: How to Create a Frame within a Frame

Last Week’s Favourite

Here is our favourite submission from last week’s theme, Motion Blur. You can view all of the entries here.

This weeks winner is by Tim J Nicol, This image shows an American Goldfinch Isolated by motion blur. In this instance, the motion blur was created by zooming with the lens during an exposure, this creates very dramatic subject isolation. Well done Tim!
