Hi! Here is November’s Tech of the month, a collaboration between Lucile’s blog and mine over at perelincolors. In November, we’ll continue last month’s topic: empty space in image composition. In October, I set the challenge to fill the whole frame and to eliminate all empty space. To see the results, head to these blogs:
Lucile de Godoy: Fill the whole picture
Tish Farrel: It’s a wonderful world
Musin’ with Susan: Fill the whole picture
Amy from Playing with my first DSLR camera: Mushrooms
This month, I want to do the opposite and use a lot of empty space. In the image above, I used two ’empty areas’, the blue sky and a yellow rap field as two colour blocks.
In the next image, I used the empty, dark black background to highlight the beauty of a jellyfish.
Empty space can be used to highlight many other things as well, such as a landscape’s vastness or the smallness of a feather.
When there is no empty space to contrast your subject against, you can use a small aperture to blur the background.
To participate in this month’s challenge, post your pictures and notify us with a link to this post. As always, you are also invited to submit your photos to Lucile’s Photo Rehab.
Thank you for choosing my photo, Lucile. I’m honored! Putting on my thinking cap for “Empty Space”.

Very nice!!
Awesome images!
Cool challenge (like the one before)! I truly believe that pictures get better once we become aware of the ‘picture space’ – your pictures here re a point in case, but I think that sort of goes without saying.

Thanks so much for featuring my post. I really love this latest challenge – making space work. The feather image is very striking.
Thanks a lot, and thanks for participating last month too!
