It's All In The Framing
It's all in the framing. A good photo is made by many things - lighting, composition, emotion and framing for example. Some photographers are all about the framing and it's a good thing. Don't know what I'm on about? Then grab a piece of cardboard and cut a 1 inch by 2 inch hole in it, then find an interesting subject and frame it up with your holey cardboard. You can play with what the photo would potentially look like by moving your cardboard around until you find the most pleasing frame for it. Practice for a week and then go back to taking photos - I bet your photos will look so much the better for all your hard eye workouts.
