Composition - Balance

Good balance is simply the arrangement of shapes, colors, or areas of light and dark that complement one another so that the photograph looks well-balanced. This one is subjective to me but make s a lot of good sense at the same time. Take for example a person sitting on a bench. While the person is setting at one end of he bench you can frame them to the left or the right as you desire and get the off center look you might like and that the rule of thirds recommends. however if we do to include enough of the bench to see that the subject is on a bench the image will look strange.

So when you peep through the view finder and you set the shot up make sure your eye looks at the whole image and not just the subject. Is there enough in the frame to tell the story.

2009 OneLight Workshop

http://www.onelightworkshop.com/page3/page3.html

from Onelight Workshops:

Not Your Standard Workshop ::
Off Camera. Manual Mode. Old School. This is how we do it at the OneLight.

This workshop is not a 9 to 5 presentation of pretty pictures telling you what f-stop and shutter speed were used to make them. You will not be instructed to follow your heart. We will not “feel” the light. We most definitely will not talk about the transcendental properties of light and shadow and make metaphors between the physical and metaphysical worlds. :)

This is a nuts and bolts type of workshop that breaks lighting down into something we can understand and know how to use in practical day to day shooting. We want to make creative and compelling portraits wherever we are at any time of the day or night. The only prerequisite for this workshop is that all participants MUST have a solid understanding of apertures, shutter speeds, and basic composition knowledge. The OneLight is designed for intermediate to advanced photographers.

Calendar in Spanish

Hey folks...I have to apologize.  I did not realize until tonight that those who were surfing the blog were only seeing a Spanish version of the calendar.  Apparently the Google Calendar Application I was using has some issues in Internet Explorer which results in a Spanish calendar.  I rarely visit the blog in IE, I uses Firefox, Chrome, and Safari most of the time and had not noticed it.  Tonight Shannon went on it from here machines using IE and noticed it.  She griped at me, I looked on mine it was fine.  I opened IE and it was not fine.  It should be fixed now.
