Task Two - Finding the Best Orientation
Take a photograph using an orientation that is clearly suited to the subject. To keep it interesting try to avoid subjects that naturally favour either portrait or landscape formats. The key to success is to identify the point of focus for each photograph.
•Take a picture where the subject clearly dictates the most appropriate orientation
•Identify your point of focus
•Consider your subject's placement and how it affects the balance of the image
Response
To tackle this challenge I decided to choose a subject and photograph it from a range of different viewpoints to see which worked the best. I chose a pair of army boots as I thought they would make an interesting subject, with several possibilities for captivating images. The most obvious orientation to show the whole boot was landscape as the boots were slightly longer than they were tall, and made a nice image positioned off to one side of the frame. I then decided to try some close up shots, filling the majority of the frame with the boots. A portrait shot worked best for image number two as I felt the vertical stitching lent itself to a tight portrait. For image three I chose to focus on the front of the boot, to show all the scuffs and creases, this shot clearly fit a landscape orientation.
