Title: Yellow Orbs

Exercise: Decide on a subject that is clear in appearance and compact in shape  and that is easily accessible. Moving in and around the subject work from it being full frame to just capturing a small area. Then use a set of L frames to crop the original full frame image and develop different compositions.

Approach: I didn’t have a subject in mind for this exercise when I started and let it sit for a while before deciding. I was out cycling and came across the child’s playground with this climbing frame in the centre. I was really attracted by the shapes and colours and used my iPhone to capture the different frames. I kept my fingers crossed that this would be acceptable but also thought I could go back again with my DSLR at another time. I started by using a distance shot capturing the climbing frame and some of its surroundings. I then moved in to capture more of the detail of the subject. My preference is for these later shots where the colours and shapes are really emphasised.
