Photography Wednesday: Signs Part II

For today's quick photography Wednesday, let's look at three different ways to compose a shot of a sign. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but might give you some ideas to try (or completely avoid) during your next photography adventure.

First up, the low-angle shot with foreground and background clutter. The depth of field is such that the only part of the image that's actually in focus is the plane of the sign. (Plane as in the mathematical concept, not as in the big pretty white planes with red stripes, curtains in the window and wheels, that look like a big Tylenols.)

The eye level approach.

The perspective shot. The angle here gives us a single point perspective that helps to make the sign look as if it's receding into the distance. (Which, in truth, it is)

Like I said above, this is only a couple of ideas for framing pictures of signs. There are lots more ways that we can handle this.

Also, I promise, this will be the last sign-related entry for a while. I realized after picking the photos I wanted to use that I did signs already a couple weeks back.

Just one more thing...

The last note for today is that the Phebruary challenge prompts list is almost complete, I should have a supplemental post today or tomorrow announcing the final list.
