VISUALIZATION
Robert Frost - A Tribute to the Source (read)
Frost was at work on a new book. Poems from Derry were still
maturing, some from England were almost ready. He had never
succeeded in larruping a poem as one might a horse to make
it go. Poems had to come to him in their own...
What images come to your mind as I read these words? How
would you create and/or capture the images?
COMPOSITION

The camera should not get in the way of composing/framing
images. Most cameras have the capability to "lock" exposure
and auto focus functions. Some customizing allows the
decoupling of these two lock functions. Check the camera
manual about the use and programming of those features. It
is important that the camera does what you want and not you
having to live with doing what the camera wants. The camera
should not get in your way!

Photo Assignment - Focus on the subject
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXYaWoO6q04
Following up from last week, where you worked on Focus and
Focus Lock, photograph a subject with a blurred background
so that the viewer (we) focus our attention on the subject.
The background can provide context if you like, but we want
to be drawn to the subject because it is in critical focus.
If you are photographing a face, the whole face does not
have to be in focus... but the eyes should be.
