Assignment #1: Creative Composition

for September and October

This is your first assignment, interesting to see how it goes. Your task is creative composition, by this I mean you have to be as creative and original as possible in composing your shots...

Composition is the way your frame your shot, the way you place certain things in the frame, basically how the thing fits together as a whole.

Some ideas to get you going:

looking through crazy shape tree branches, using the branches to frame the rider.
craetive angles, maybe looking from an angle that no-ones done before.
seeing the rider through the hole is someones frame maybe.
maybe having the rider a small part of a dramatic background.

theres just a few ideas, nothing really amazing there as i didnt really think about them much, its up to you come up with wicked ideas....

soz i couldn't tweek it properly without making it too grainy.
the way to sort this is to (if possible), use the spot metering system to set exposre right for the rider, because the sky confused the standard metering system.

tbh, its a very hard shot that I don't think i could do properly, so I can't tell ya exactly how to get it looking gd unfortunately....
