Framing
There was a lovely double rainbow in town the other evening
and I saw many people taking “snapshots” of it with their phones. I did the
same, with my iPhone 5. The difference, however, between a “snapshot” and a photograph
is illustrated here. I took the time to walk around the town a bit to “frame”
the photo so that it had more impact than a random shot. Notice how I used
historical elements of the town to create a border around the rainbow, adding
more life and interest to what otherwise would have been just an ordinary shot
of any random rainbow.
