Cropping for Better Composition

We are going to practice cropping photos. You will use photos that I took at the Treasure Island Music Festival last weekend. If you are my student, you have my permission to copy this photo for class.

Copy and crop the photo. Then paste both the Before and After photos on your blog and explain how the new photo illustrates a rule of composition. Write your sentence beginning with these words...

The cropped photo illustrates the ________ rule of composition, because it _____________ .

Pick any of the photos on this page. Post by the end of today!

You may also crop the photo with the kids playing with bubbles or...

the speakers with the Transamerica Pyramid in the background.

You may also crop this beautiful garbage photo. When you finish, remember to post the original photo and the finished version. At the end of the post, write a complete sentence how your new photo illustrates a rule of composition. You may use the following format.

The cropped photo illustrates the ________ rule of composition, because it _____________ .
