Creative compositions for boring ops

Some suggestions on compositions for a relatively 'boring' op. Notice incorporation of multiple composition elements to provide layering and prevent image from being flat.


An example of a 'flat' image. Note 2 other problems: high noise (grainy image) and focus a bit off.



In 1 pic: who's the person, what's he doing? Bring out the subject of the event. Notice focus is a bit off too: this is the result of trying to find a compromise focus between the book and the person (i.e. have both relatively sharp instead of 1 sharp and the other blur). Other way to have both in focus is to increase depth of field by using a bigger aperture (larger f-number), but low lighting conditions prevent this.


Man and audience. Very standard but better than flat shots


To illustrate that he is blind, and also a filler shot (e.g. background) for magazines - notice large copy space (blank space to put text) where the paper is.

Of course my pics leave much to be desired. But these are some suggestions that might be useful for u to consider next time when taking a supposedly 'boring' op. Btw all i did is to take pics for 3min then sit down and just listen. Haha.
