Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / June 2007What do you call ...
Is there a name for the kind of photos with the point of focus in the exact centre of the frame? You know, when the photographer doesn't know that they can press the shutter half way to hold the focus while they frame the image. If you don't know a name, what would you call it?

I don't think I originated the term (as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure I didin't) but it seems the most appropriate. >> >> Is there a name for the kind of photos with the point of focus in the >> >> exact [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks :-). I don't think I originated the term (as a matter of fact > I'm pretty sure I didin't) but it seems the most appropriate. It certainly strikes me as appropriate. It captures the essence without trying to explain too much, like "rock music", or "dickhead". I'm thinking of a particular photographer who takes dramatic images of interesting subjects, but 99% of them are bullseye compositions, and my disgust prevents me from enjoying them. > >> >> Is there a name for the kind of photos with the point of focus in the > >> >> exact [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > subjects, but 99% of them are bullseye compositions, and my disgust prevents > me from enjoying them. Photographer from which era, and, living or dead? Sounds like Diane Arbus but there are other photographers who probably fit the "bull's eye syndrome" too, famous or not.... > Sounds like Diane Arbus but there are other photographers who probably > fit the "bull's eye syndrome" too, famous or not.... Diane Arbus didn't do so much "bull's-eye" as outré >> >> >> Is there a name for the kind of photos with the point of focus in >> >> >> the [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > Sounds like Diane Arbus but there are other photographers who probably > fit the "bull's eye syndrome" too, famous or not.... Contemporary and living. Beyond that I'm not willing to say. :-) >> I'm thinking of a particular photographer who takes dramatic images >> of interesting subjects, but 99% of them are bullseye compositions, >> and my disgust prevents me from enjoying them. > > Sounds like Diane Arbus but there are other photographers who > probably fit the "bull's eye syndrome" too, famous or not.... ISWYM about Diane Arbus. I'm willing to forgive a central composition with a portrait, but not with something like this - http://photoinf.com/General/KODAK/photoProgramCompBig31.jpg. > contax...@aol.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > ISWYM about Diane Arbus.

That was just shot to allow cropping, right side crop for coming and a left side crop for going, a top crop to emphasize nearness and a bottom crop distance.... :-) >> contax...@aol.com wrote: >>>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > left side crop for going, a top crop to emphasize nearness and a > bottom crop distance.... :-) Yeah, yeah, that's what _you_ would do, but there are people ... :-) > >> I'm thinking of a particular photographer who takes dramatic images > >> of interesting subjects, but 99% of them are bullseye compositions, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > portrait, but not with something like this - > http://photoinf.com/General/KODAK/photoProgramCompBig31.jpg. Kind of looks like Diane Arbus discovered both revivification, 35mm color, Cokin filters and turned into "La Dentista" with a Nikon... or just about every bad example in a a Kodak "Joy of photography"-type book... :-( Perhaps it is a portrait of the photographers eenui/"boredom of the soul"?

I don't think I can do better than bullseye. |
