Composition - Frame It (Through crib slats!)


Don't worry, you don't have to go out and invest any money to achieve this sort of framing!  Every now and then you will have the opportunity to capture an image with a "natural" frame.  This is really simple to achieve, all you have to do is shoot your subject through some object.  This photo of Evan was taken when he was just over 4 months old.  It's tough to get a lot of variety with babies of this age, so I decided to get one with him framed by the slats of his crib.

Start watching for framing possibilities in your own world!  You don't have necessarily have to set a shot like this up.  Just watch your kids as they play and look at the things that surround them.  This is something I find the opportunity to do often so I will post more framing ideas in the future.
