Whilst looking over my work to date, two words repeatedly enters my head; 'CLUTTER and BUSY' I am becoming more aware of what I see in my photographs that should not be there.
Today whilst walking around Silver Jubilee Park, near Sallan roundabout and to the left of Sohar Beach Hotel, I came across the view seen below, no clutter in sight and composed myself to take the three images, placing the horizon in lower, mid and upper positions, there were very small fine clouds in the sky too but these cannot be seen, it is winter here and 25 degrees at the hottest time of day.
I chose to take these photographs with the same equipment as above, but did not have my tripod with me, so used a pillar on the bridge which spans the lake to support myself and steady my camera.
My camera was set to manual, and I selected an aperture of f/16.0 to give me a greater depth of field, with the whole image being in focus from front to back.
ISO was 100
Speed 1/100sec to let in more light
I have elected to use the tree tops and the top of the dome to be the visual horizon.
Lowest third, gives the viewer a vast amount of blue sky to look at, the Gazebo is dominant in the fore to mid ground.
Middle, this is a more pleasing composition, the Gazebo is still dominant, although the water in the foreground gives another aspect to look at.
Upper third, this is more balanced photograph, with depth from foreground to background. The reflection in the water gives the viewer another dimension to focus on and the water and sky balance one another.
