Frame a Great Shot: Exploring Photo Composition | Learn with EyeEm

Hi Yana - looks like a fun night! Good job not showing me a pic of the band or performance. You have some nice visual elements with the hands and the mysterious red lights and fog. There isn't a clear subject in this photo. I want to see someone I wouldn't expect to see, or maybe someone with an expression that makes me wonder why are they at a concert. Off to a good start, thanks for sharing!

Hi Porter,
Thanks so much for your comments.  Appreciate it!  
I took a cue from your course to consider shots that did not include the stage and/or musicians.  Great advice!
You know, with regard to your comment to include someone in the frame you wouldn't expect, the musician had large puppets as backup singers.  I should have tried to get one of them as part of the composition - that would be an eyebrow raising component.  Opportunity missed but noted for next time!
Thanks again.  Enjoyed the class!

Red &amp; smokey! Looks like everybody was really getting into the concert! Where was this &amp; what band was it?

Hi Gregory,
The concert was on a beach in Toronto.  It was a beautiful night and a sold out show.  The musician was a rapper, Chance The Rapper.  As an aside, apparently he's a favourite of Barrack Obama.  Having said that, I think the average age of the audience was in the low 20's.  Barrack Obama may be one of his oldest fans :-)

Interesting! The light shows they have these days are really cool! They used to have a light crew operate  them but, now it's done by computers.
