Top 10 Photo Skills #2: Framing your pictures

A great way to add interest to your images is to frame your chosen object on the photo. Be it a door, window, tree branches, cave entrance or a whole in the wall. The list really is endless.

This technique is something that I really like to use and have been using it to different results over the past couple of years. On this post you can see examples that I have taken:
  • Morro de Sao Paulo, Brazil. This was taken from inside an old fort looking back across the beach to some leaning palms.

  • Inspiration Point, Yosemite, USA. Taken from the car park the branch really adds an additional element to a classic photo.

It is very simple and yet very effective way of making something simple look or the more engaging.
