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.
