The Frame - 9

Project: Cropping and extending

Exercise: Cropping

This exercise requires a few photographs that will be cropped, in order to experiment the feeling of finding different pictures within photographs already taken.

So here they are:

Photo 1

In this crop, I isolated the first house, because I wanted to make it more visible. Now the photo appears in vertical format, and the lines of the house guide the eye up and down, so even the orange fruit in the tree, are also more visible than in the initial image. And that's the element that attracted me the most after I took this photo.

Photo 2

In the second crop I wanted to bring closer the distinctive characteristic of Fuji Television building, in Tokyo, it's spherical part, that makes it unique.

Photo 3

Crop no. 3 shows the jetfoil ship closer, and in a different part of the frame. I thought this placement would emphasize it's shape, color and the sense of speed.

Photo 4

In crop 4 I just brought the subject(s) closer, because it's not very common to see newborn birds, and I thought any viewer would like a closer look of these cute, little babies, in their nest.

So in all the crops I basically brought some parts of the photos closer, in order to emphasize various elements. Not very creative, I'm afraid, but this is what I felt I should do when I looked at these photos.
