Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #275: Filling the Frame

Published on by Yinglan

Happy Sunday! This week, Anne from Slow Shutter Speed hosts the Lens-Artist Photo Challenge with yet another type of composition – Filling the Frame.

I rarely practice the composition of “Filling the Frame” because as a hobby landscape photographer, I like to cram as much landscape into the photo as possible. After all, it is called landscape photography. It’s why I use this composition mostly with flowers.

I think I got lucky with this photo of a dahlia. I made this photo with the old mirrorless camera (w/ the moldy sensor) and a closeup filter screwed onto the lens. There was no editing as I didn’t join Lightroom until a year after this photo was taken.

I made these photos recently in Japan. Strangely, when I took the photo of the pink blooms, the concept of “Fill the frame” came to mind. Normally, my brain doesn’t tell me what photo composition to use. Normally, I just got by instinct. So fill the frame it was.

When I told my co-worker how humid it was in Japan, she replied, “Is that why bamboos grow so well there?”

Well, I don’t know about whether bamboos need a high humidity climate for growth as I’ve never grown bamboo before. I do know, though, is that the bamboo grove I visited in Kyoto was incredible.

Lastly, I can’t forget about this photo, taken in Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Japan. This is Emperor Meiji’s collection of sake, displayed in these colorful barrels. Opposite of these barrels were more barrels – not as colorful wooden barrels – western wine made from grapes.
