This is a message from perelincolors, your host for ‘Tech of the month’. This feature started a little over a year ago as a place to improve my photography. I have covered thirteen different topics since then and every month, I invite others to join me while I am learning. For last month’s topic, which was ’empty’ or ‘negative’ space, I was joined by
Perelincolors Tech of the Month challenge is: empty space in image composition. ” In October, I set the challenge to fill the whole frame and to eliminate all empty space. This month, I want to do the opposite and use a lot of empty space.”
