I had a slight problem with this. After completing the exercise I understood where planning and thought make a better photographer. I tried a couple of subjects - One was a cruiser on the Norfolk broads which didnt work for all of the shots because I had not thought about how to get close enough to get in really tight. I would have had to walk on water to get that close and my long lens wasnt long enough!
The second subject was better. This was a Pavilion in a local park.
Image 1: Conventional viewpoint
The first image was taken as a standard record shot.
Image 2: Tighter in the frame
The second shot was taken tighter in the frame of the camera. The subject was pretty big so there wasnt much difference between the first and second shot.
Image 3: Detailed shot 1
A close up of an area of the building. I liked the lines and the light in this shot.
Image 4: Detailed shot 2
A different close up shot of the building. This one appealed to me because of the monkeys on the top. At first I thought they were the 3 wise monkeys but on closer inspection they were more comical than that. One was holding a camera, one a telephone and I couldnt see what the other one was holding. This image was taken using a long lens.
Image 5: Occupying a smaller area of the frame
The picure needed to take up around a quarter or less of the frame. I had a problem doing this because from the vantage point I needed at the front of the building there were steps which took me below the viewpoint which meant that I couldn't see the whole of the building.
Image 6: Cropped for perspective.
The final image was cropped to give a feel of the extent of the building. The couple relaxing on the grass in front of the building gives a sense of proportion.
This exercise has shown me how moving your body to get different vantage points can make a big difference to the final image.
