Gannet portrait – Using natural frames has always been a very effective way of composing an image, especially if you can frame your subject by using another bird/mammal of the same species. This inquisitive gannet image is improved by the out-of-focus gannet in the foreground whose neck and body allow me to place the main gannet off-centre whilst it’s muted tones of white and yellow also compliment the primary colours of the main bird. By utilising opportunities such as this the resulting image immediately acquires another dimension, another level of depth that, when the alternative would have been to set the gannet against a featureless blue sky then if nothing else it fills the frame with more interest, more detail and more narrative. With a bird that is as sleek and graphic as a gannet though it’s often worth trying to capture that moment when the gannet looks directly at you as this gives a beautiful symmetry to their angular faces. Of course this is yet another element of the intended image that as a photographer you are hoping that will serendipitously collide but on this occasion I got lucky and was able to capture this characterful portrait. Another lucky and unplanned aspect of this image is the way that the blue in the eyes of the gannet are echoed by the blue sky behind and so a lot of different, complimentary elements came together in this image. Not untypically with me it is an old image that my ham-fisted processing had essentially butchered and so this image is a much more faithful rendition of the original RAW file. I wouldn’t suggest that natural frames is something that you go out specifically looking for but try to at least remain aware of the possibilities and then who knows when an appropriate opportunity might arise.
