For PerelinColors Tech of the Month in Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – make use of negative space. I am in love with negative space, have so many photos which I consider to be quite minimal and “full” of empty space. Here is one that I took a couple of weeks ago.
I just wanted to catch this little bird in silhouette on a dreary stormy afternoon in Brisbane.
You can see some of my favourite “white space” shots in a previous post here but the collage below gives you a sneak peek:

What a gorgeous shot, Desley! So peaceful and contemplative.

Even though I’m not a photographer I enjoy your tips. Also I recently made some business cards and found that more white space made the cards pop and look less cluttered.

Oh I’m so glad. Yes I agree it makes business cards look good! Would love to see them.

What a beautiful shot!!! It looks like Japanese calligraphy and is such a nice yet simple composition.

Thank you! I think it needs a contemplative haiku 😉

Thanks Jude. I love to use black negative space but haven’t managed it very often. I’ll link one for you. There are a couple in this post: https://musingsofafrequentflyingscientist.com/2015/09/15/monochromatic-selection/

Me too. I plan to do some indoor flower photography when I move and then play around with backgrounds. So exciting!

Possibly? 10 more days until it goes unconditional but apparently my real estate guy “has a bad feeing” about the buyers. Good grief it’s frustrating! 😝

Yup! The hardest thing I have gone through. But that might just be me! Buying not so hot either, we’ve been in the process for 5 months now – should have been straightforward, 6 weeks max. but then we hit a hitch -now dealt with – but nothing since. Our solicitor is waiting for a contract from his solicitor so we can finalise things. I have even started packing! I so hope he doesn’t pull out at this point, but it happened to us before. I do hope it goes much better for you 🙂

this is funny…I once took a photo of a young woman, put her all the way to the right, lots of space to the left. Her boyfriend was upset because she wasn’t centered!! So much for art

You are a magician with the negative space and minimalist. You header is one of my favourites, but I do like the little bird silhouette too.
