Mt Cook framed
Tried framing your photographs? This is not referring to picture frames, though they can be useful, but to photographing a more distant subject past a carefully-chosen foreground. Above: Mount Cook framed by trees. The cloud provides an additional piece of framing. Other examples of framing are tree branches to frame a building, or toys or play equipment to frame children. The frame need be only on one side, but can be on both or indeed all four
sides. The framing object should be shown only in part, however — there should be only branches of a tree, or only one side of a swing. Most imoportant, the frame should not be as eyecatching as the main sub-
ject; in particular, it should not be in bright colours. Usually it will be darker than the subject, and in any case must contrast in density. The frame may be slightly out of focus but the subject must be sharp.
