Project 52, Week 43, Circles

We're not doing anything different this week than the first two weeks of the months, except concentrating on circles.  The object is to compose pictures with circles, spheres, and/or cylinders. 

Things to consider:
  • The "circle" can be the main focus or take a supporting role.
  • The object/element can be an actual shape or form or the circle can be implied.
  • Practice the other compositional guidelines.
Suggested Readings and Examples:
  1. Improve your photography: Shoot in circles at Josh Larkin Photography; illustrated article on how shooting circles can improve your photography. 
  2. Circle Photography at Redbubble; just photos
  3. Circles stock photos and images at Fotosearch; over 120,000 images (you can search here for other geometric shapes and forms)
  4. Giant Spheres Created with Light Painting by Michael Zang at PetaPixel and Photo Gallery Ball of Light at Denis Smith photography; cool photos
  5. Breathtaking Photos Using Clear Marble by Oliver Pickup at Mail Online; photos taken through a marble (clear glass sphere) by Caleb Tenenbaum
