Welcome to Day 78 :) Today let's do something a bit different. Isolating the subject. Getting down to eye level. Keeping it simple.
Once you pick your subject ... take a look around it .. and anything that doesn't add to the composition .. leave it out. One way is
to use a larger aperture (smaller fstop number) to get shallow depth of field. Another way is to take a few steps closer to your subject
or zoom in close, change the angle, get down eye level with it so that anything that isn't necessary in the photo goes away.
Keeping the photo simple ... sometimes makes it much clearer what the focus of the photograph is.
Here are a few examples to get us started. I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with.

Which I forgot to add:

They built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue.

They thought they had a ship the water would never go through.

It was on the maiden trip when an iceberg hit that ship.

It was sad when the great ship went down.

(CHORUS):

It was sad. -so sad.

It was sad. -too bad.

It was sad when the great ship went down -to the bottom of the--

Husbands and wives; little children lost their lives.

It was sad when the great ship went down. -where’s Dad?



They sailed out from England and were not to far from shore

When the rich refused to mingle with the poor.

So they put them down below where they’d be first to go.

It was sad when the great ship went down.

(CHORUS)

That ship was full of trouble and the sides about to burst,

When somebody shouted: "Women and children first!"

It was a night none would forget, even millionaires got wet!

It was sad when the great ship went down.

(CHORUS)

They swung the life boats out over the deep and icy sea,

When the band struck up with: "Nearer My God to Thee."

Men and children cried as water swept over the side.

It was sad when the great ship went down.
