Project: Looking through the viewfinder
Useful ideas from this section:
The camera as an "extension of your hand and eye"(p.38)
The frame as a blank canvas (p.38), but making a picture as "a matter of selection rather than building from scroatch" (p.39)
The importance of training your eye "to see and evaluate potential pictures almost everywhere" (p.39)
The exercise below the next two relate to to the project on looking through the viewfinder.

Fitting the frame to the subject
In this exercise, I had to photograph something clear and compact, and take a number of photos: one where I could see the whole subject, one making it fit the frame as tightly as possible, one placing the subject within its surroundings, and another one of a detailed shot.
