February Assignment: Fill-the-Frame

**acarbo99** · 02-01-2011, 11:37 AM

Continuing our assignments from late last year, a couple of months back, we had a good discussion going about two cropping styles: using negative space vs filling the frame. This month we are going to explore filling the frame with our subjects.

Let's see the many ways filling the frame can be used to create an impact in your photos! Post as many photos as you like here.

Best,

This was a crop, not in camera, but definitely fits the bill

El ... AWESOME SHOTS!!! I especially love that last one. WOW!

Gwen ... it does fit the bill. But my goodness, Jack is looking so grown up! Make him stop!

Here's a quick one from me:

This WAS an in-camera crop. No editing except for size. I can see how how much red/magenta I have in there. Gonna have to edit that. :\

TFS guys!

This is a post-processing crop, but I still love it.

I already posted a couple in another thread, but here's a new one -- going with the bright toys others inspired me to try.

Last night, Eva slept through dinner into the late-night hours so I picked up my camera and went a little nuts just walking around the first floor taking pics for fill-the-frame and whatever else.

Here are a few of the better ones...

I love Sudoku!

I love the colors reflected in CD surfaces:
