Points: Positioning a point

Project- Points
Exercise 1: Positioning a point
Aims: To take 3 photo's each with one point positioned in different parts of the frame
             Compare and note the different effects

In preparation for this project, I took notes on possible subjects, each with one main point in the frame. I have also decided to convert all the images I use for this project to black/white as advised in the introduction. I think it will help me focus more on the points and less on colour or lighting- though both should still be given consideration.
These are my notes for the project:

1. 

This picture shows the subject in the centre of the frame. I would normally try to stay away from positioning the main point in the centre of the frame, but I think for subjects such as this hare or, for example, birds in flight, any other composition would look awkward. 

2.

This image shows the point just off centre which I think gives an interesting and dynamic effect to the image. There is just enough space on the left side to create a pleasing composition but with not too much space as to distract viewers or make the picture unbalanced. The subject is positioned roughly in line with the thirds as I have shown below:

3.

This image of a coin in the lower left side of the frame demonstrates the last extreme of positioning the point: close to the edge. I think this rarely works in a photo which has only one point because there is so much empty space around the subject and seams to throw the photo off balance. This does not mean to say however, that I should completely rule this composition out as it may work better than some of the more commonly used positions. 

In conclusion, I think where you place points in the frame is very important because they essentially guide the viewers eyes to different parts of the picture, and depending on where they are placed, they could make or break the effect the photo has.
