Short-listed: Photographic composition
David Bryson, University of Derby
This learning object is used to help students studying photography to develop their composition skills using a digital form of L-Shapes and mattes commonly used to help selection and cropping of photographs as part of the printing and publication. It digitally represents a traditional practice from both the photographic and printing industries. Students can practice composition on a sample of images, or their own images, which enhances their appreciation of the need to think while they are taking photographs about composition and format, square, landscape or portrait. The Learning Object uses Flash and includes links to external files for a range of images which can be replaced with the user’s own images to allow lecturers or students to modify them for their own particular type of photography.
