Daily photo (21) centred coot



Daily photo (21) centred coot, originally uploaded by rachelandjohn.

Confined to the mooring today- still feeling rather unwell.

Some people reckon that you should avoid centring the subject of a photo at all costs- they say a centred composition can be unbearably dull. I’ve broken that rule here, but I think the photo still works well. It’s tricky to make a coot the subject of a photo with a wideangle lens- I had to use the railings and hose in the water to frame it. Just as I made this exposure it splashed into the water. (Not surprising, really- it’s very hot today!)

[Have just realised that a lot of my pics are ending up square format- perhaps I’m a closet 6×6 photographer!]
