For instance, a subject that looks like a basic 'Steelyard' composition at first glance might be able to be changed to that 'S' that your talking about. Or it may be mostly a 'Steelyard' but have an 'S' curve in it too. I'm always amazed how an 'S' can find its way into a scene with a bit of thought behind it. The 'S' doesn't always have to be a road or a winding stream! Going out like you said and looking for a particular type of composition would also help to cement that idea into our head!

It would be interesting to take one of the composition symbols "S" and go out and look for a scene to match the symbol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778347817459159205noreply@blogger.com
