Framing: Weekly Photography Challenge

Framing: Weekly Photography Challenge

A Post By: Darren Rowse

Image by Paulo Sacramento

This week your challenge is to take and share an image that uses the technique of Framing.

Framing is a great compositional technique that is great to have in your photographic bag of tricks. It can do many things for your image including:

  • giving it a sense of depth
  • draw the eye of those viewing an image to a particular element in the scene
  • bring a sense of organization and containment to a scene
  • add context to your shot

For more on the benefits of framing and how to do it – check out our previous post – Frame Your Images (where there are also some good examples of different types of framing to give you some ideas for your own shots.

Don’t forget – to frame a shot you don’t necessarily need a door or window – you can shoot through almost anything and frame your images (overhanging branches, archways, under a bridge, through… well almost anything).

Once you’ve taken your best “Framing” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so. Please note it sometimes takes us a while to approve comments with images as there’s a moderation queue – particularly over the weekend.

If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSFRAMING to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.

PS: don’t forget to check out some of the great photos shared last week in the ‘My Camera and I’ challenge.

    This is one of my favorite bike race pictures. It immediately came to mind when the subject of framing came up.

    http://picasaweb.google.com/mikelipscomb/2009_09_24_USA_Crit_Finals#5386553780676008178

    The framing that obscures the winner of the race are the hands of his buddy who is clapping for his victory. Kind of ironic.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/ssultan/5015329002/

    Another creative way to capture people is through other people. For example, one of my favorite shots to take is through phones or cameras that guests are employing. It turns out to be a favorite almost every single time. Here's an image that shows the use of an iphone:

    What a great assignment! Here's my entry. Here I've used the guitarist to frame out the bride and the groom singing.

    Is these considered framing?

    My framed photo is from a previous trip. Does this have to be a shot we took this weekend? I have not posted here before~ hope I posted this correctly.

    Framing can also be a lot more suttle than it is when using a single object such as a window. A number of objects, natural and/or manmade, can frame the composition in one photo and acheive a similar affect.

    I found the briar in this windows to be very interesting. It offered a great contrast with the grain, color and straight lines of the side of the old building.

    I wonder if this fits the criteria. I took this today and saw the challenge and thought of this photo.

    That's a, more or less, a pure framing portrait, with perspective. A window inside a child school in Masai town in Tanzania.

    i framed two temple to focus on the other temple.

  • Efrain September 25, 2010 10:20 am

    It's maybe one of the most seen framings used around, but I think this one makes the cut... Taken with a Sony L-1 (my first digital camera) on my last trip to Massachussetts.

    This is a typical window 'frame within a frame' ......

  • Travel with Kids September 25, 2010 10:00 am

    @jj - Your photo really shows the power of framing. What is otherwise just a paper clip gets enhanced and emphasized.

    This one is on the river that runs through Hoi An in Vietnam.
