FIELD TRIP
Amidst the unexpected, troublesome, yet beautiful winter weather, Two students still showed up for our field trip on Friday. It was quite cold and snowy, and we didn't stay out very long, but we still had some fun and got a few good pictures. Melissa and Cassie learned a little about compensating for bright snow, since all that white really throws off a light meter, and Cassie's sister posed a bit for us... until we couldn't feel our toes any more.

hey! that's me!
I want it to snow againn, except have it snow where I am.
And these are quite nice.
these are cool.
the one of the girl in the fluffy hood is naturally framed very nicely. i'd like to see if you had her do one where she was standing exactly in the middle, it'd be interesting to see complete symmetry.

I think she stared in the middle, but I did not shoot her that way. Compositionally speaking, it just would not work with her in the middle. There would be nothing to carry your eye through the frame. you would look at the centered subject, and that would be it. The offset subject allows your eye to enter on the left, travel through the arch, to the right side of the image, then the fence takes you back to the left, over the snowy background, then for another look at the subject. I am a bit o.c.d. about symmetry some times, but a symmetrically placed subject creates a much less interesting visual experience. imho, of course.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
i'd agree that it'd be less interesting compositionally, for sure.
i just personally love when things are PERFECTLY symmetrical, and since everything including the framing is symmetrical, i thought it'd be cool.
if something is semi-symmetrical, but lacks interest... that's no good.
that'd also be in my humble opinion. heh.
you're totally right though.
