A study trying a different way of framing to try and capture
the ocean through a manipulated shape.

I get what you are doing. But for me it is too much of a distraction. May be hold the camera more true too the shape more would have been in focus the first one hurt's my eyes I ware varifocal's, I am having trouble getting a focus point.

again, you take a thing or place of beauty and reduce it to something that has no meaning. why?

Not everything has to have meaning, acceptance of what is..... in the case of the driftwood/ocean, a snippet of Beauty by looking through the keyhole of driftwood. :)

I like your idea. Maybe a little less framing giving more of your sharp subject and horizontal instead of vertical or even square. move a little closer to the forgound object to give you more of your subject.

Number 2 is the best of the three!

Thank you for your advice. Yes I agree with the less framing, the natural hole in the driftwood was very small and I was holding the driftwood in one hand and the camera in the other. This was a spur of the moment experiment, while walking on a beach, but one I would like to explore further, so thanks again and Merry Christmas Laurie :)

For me it is too much of a distraction. i think you are onto something but possibly a different object frame with that does not fill up the frame and leaves the true object obscured!! my .02 worth!!

Yes thank you and I know what you mean, that's the Beauty of
experimenting, it's all a learning experience/education.
An idea that can and will be worked with, when time allows.
Merry Christmas :)

I like your concept. Forget the fuzzyness comments. That is what it was meant to be.

I think you need that frame all around - #3 nearly missed on the one side.

I also think you need something to standout in the 'picture'. The one with just water has nothing (less) to look at .

Someone said they keep trying to get another angle of view through the knothole - must be a good shot if we want more.

Well done.

Thanks yes, I do agree, I'm looking for a device that's portable that will sort of hold objects true and steady, then I can will just need to hold the camera and try and capture the view.
Sometimes less is more :)
Well done.

You are looking for a 'frame' you can re-use? Maybe it was that driftwood piece you already have found. Take out the background via PP techniques and you can use it over and over - just apply it over your new pictures (PP) as you like.
