Yellow Orbs (3rd May)

This exercise had been playing on my mind and I hadn’t been able to find time to get on with it. While I was out one afternoon the climbing frame really caught my eye from the moment I saw it. There was something in the shape and the colours that were really attractive and I thought it would make an unusual subject.

Unfortunately, all I had on me at the time was my iPhone so my ability to control the shots was limited, I had to physically move toward the climbing frame to change the position in the frame. I intended to go back with the DSLR and see what difference it would make but I that was for another day. Nonetheless, I felt it was still a helpful exercise for thinking about how the subject is framed and the impact different positioning can have. I have a natural inclination to a more abstract framing that keeps you guessing about what the subject is and so my preference is for the close up shot where the yellow orbs really dominate the frame and you are not really sure what it is.
