FRAMED – GARRY ARMSTRONG

By Garry Armstrong on 08/27/2016 • ( 25 )

PHOTO CHALLENGE: FRAME

Using parts of the landscape to frame the picture has always come naturally to me. Maybe it’s all those years of television videotape — and so many John Ford movies — but I automatically look for ways to frame a scene.

It is not merely decorative. It also provides perspective and draws the eyes of the viewer into the scene … a principle that works for both still and moving pictures.

Summertime … framed by trees and water. Downtown Uxbridge in August.

I participate in WordPress’ Weekly Photo Challenge 2016

I especially like the one with the bridge and the path. It looks so peaceful.

  Thank you. I saw something similar in “Night Of The Hunter”, Charles Laughton’s lone directorial effort. It’s a great little movie with a memorable performance by Robert Mitchum at his creepiest.

      Thanks, again, Evelyne. Check out “Night of the Hunter” if it’s available. You’ll really appreciate Mitchum’s performance. You’ll never forget it!! It’s a pity Charles Laughton only directed this one film.

I find that once you get used to framing shots, it’s hard to take one without framing it!

  Agree, 100%. You can tell a complete story with one framed shot.
