Title: Weekly Assignment: Seeing the S-curve Post by: PWS-Staff on February 02, 2011, 11:52:17 PM The S-curve is a very graceful way to organize a composition. In fact, whenever I see an S-curve in a scene, I try to photograph it. Your assignment is to photograph an outdoor scene in which an S-curve is the dominant compositional element. It could be the water rushing up to the sand at the beach, a road, or trees along a mountain ridge. First, walk the perimeter of what you want to shoot, looking for the best angles and composition. Next, pick up your camera and shoot away. Photograph the scene in a number of different ways, both vertical and horizontal, symmetrical and asymmetrical, using different lenses and different formats.
From The Photo Workshop Book Series, "Composition," by Blue Fier We suggest you pose your assignments as replies to this post to keep things better organized. The next assignment will be posted February 9, 2010. Title: Re: Weekly Assignment: Seeing the S-curve Post by: StearnsJD on February 03, 2011, 12:03:31 PM This image is from a previous WA.

Tell me what you think.
