fRamiNg: whaT maKes iT signiFicant?

What makes framing actually significant to photography?

Well, I would say that it would enhance more the scene of the pictures.

What else?

How about, it develops better composition in your photographic skill and so as improves your way of managing your expression towards the “depth of feeling” you want to show to your picture.

One distinctive trait a photograph should have is the angle and the subject, of course. That is what I think are the most important substances to mix and put together a good shot. That is, a “good shot.”

Nevertheless, once a picture has the angle as well as the foreground and the background, it will already absolutely look better; but photographers will never be contented of “better” shots and even starting individuals would probably prefer for the best.

In my experience so far in photography, I have encountered obliviously framing. I have been using unconsciously framing even before I had this subject. One thing that I love the most in taking pictures are the background, next is the foreground and the subject, then next is the frame.

I just love taking pictures with dim shadows of the leaves of the trees, couple holding hands, barefooted and in silhouette, and a classic view of the sunset. I know it does not actually make a scene but the scenery in my mind is romantic.

Each of us has different interpretation but the most important thing to consider when taking a photograph is considering the human interest as well the emotions you want the subject to convey.

Laziness = Tardiness

Rule of thirds?

No, that would not be the issue here.

Since childhood, it has been a trend that I give money to beggars (specifiically those who are really old) whom we will be passing by the street. When asked why, all I can remember is answering nothing but a smile.

Back then, I thought of the real answer and realized that I really do not have other answers but pity. Pity for these people who do not have any but a penny from those who were generous enough to give.

At times, when I will be walking by the road and passed by to these people. I really coulndn't help but give even if I have nothing more left for myself.
But now, I also think twice and thought of the other side of the story. Why are these people asking for money, why shouldn't they work and earn it themselves?
It is somehow disappointing to the point that they are just asking money which was earned from hard work (from our parents).
I bet this is one of the main reasons why this country is one of the most poor countries in the world. Because most people living here are lazy and wanted money through living smoothly.
If these people would have worked during their younger years (referring to the old beggars), then they must have lived a little more comfortable than that of their lifestyle now.
