WEEK 15: People Walking Past Walls

This week’s theme is pretty simple: Please capture a person walking past a wall.

My main source of inspiration for the theme was this amazing Instagram account:

Please have a closer look at the photos there and decide for yourself what principle of composition appeals to you best.

And yes – of course, you can apply some photography guidelines to make the photo more interesting:

1.) chose an interesting wall (mural painting, color, texture)

2.) shoot preferably perpendicular to the wall

3.) use a short exposure to have sharp legs (at least 1/250 sec)

4.) use a longer expose (e.g. 1/30 sec) if you want motion blur

5.) play with light and shadow

6.) shoot in burst mode and select the photo where the step is at its widest point

There are just a few photos matching the theme I was able to find on the Internet and tag them for the usual Pinterest Board.
