Afternoon

I suggested a topic "Use the edge of a photo to cut the main subject in half" at Saturday Self Challenge group, and after few days I almost started to regret it! My suggestion became accepted right away, and I soon discovered how challenging this suggestion turned out.

First of all the subject has to be either symmetrical or easily recognizable enough, to realize it is cut in half for the picture. Then it has to be wide (or tall) enough to fill the frame, and make it look like it indeed is intentional composition, and not just accidentally popping out behind the image edge. And finally one needs to decide what to do with the rest of the space, not to place there anything that competes too much with the main subject.

Luckily I once again got the idea in middle of the night. Some noise woke me up, and as usually, I had difficulties to get sleep again because of all the thoughts rushing through my mind. But I got my idea, and that's all what matters! =D

This is a clock up in the clock tower of Tampere railway station. It is one of my favourite subjects, and more pictures of it can be found here: www.ipernity.com/tag/serola/keyword/34368
