Assignment #31 – Creating a Sense of Scale

Using a recognizable object like an animal or a human to scale a scene helps the viewer grasp just how grand and majestic a scene really is.

Adding a familiar reference point to your landscape images helps give a sense of proportion. So, for this week’s assignment, place a person, animal, or object in your composition to show just how impressive the scene is.

Your photos can be taken in the city or out in the landscapes around your home.

Please show us your interpretations of scale at Muench University. The community and our group of pro photographers will eagerly be waiting to give you some feedback and share some of their photos to give you more ideas.

Happy Shooting!

The human element can create a powerful image

Adding a human element will create more emotion to an image and helps to tell a story.

Assignment #7 – Composing With Curves

Curves are inherently pleasing and are strong compositional elements as well. They can take many forms in an image, from a simple C-curve or an undulating S-curve to circles, arches, and even the classic spiral.
