My First Photography Course

Last night, at my photography 101 course, we talked 

about composition.  I wish I had taken this course 

before I headed off to France and Italy.  I learned 

so much last night and it has changed 

how I will think about each photo I take.  

No more just point and shoot.  I'm going to try to take 

my time and compose the shot.

I came home and went through all my photographs 

from my trip critiquing what I had just learned.  

I then tried using these composition elements 

and cropped some of my pictures to try to satisfy 

some of the important attributes of a good photo.

I took this photo outside the Uffizi Museum in 

Florence, Italy.  I was sitting on a wall watching 

the mimes interact with the tourists and I captured 

this particular woman performer dressed like 

an Italian statue looking at a passing tourist.  

Wonder what she is thinking?
