Shot from top of the One Seneca Tower in the freezing windy cold
Composition
For this shot, I composed it, so the Buffalo River came out of the corner of the frame. I’ll often compose a scene, so a natural leading line cuts diagonally through the frame — it’s a solid composition element to have because it helps lead your viewer’s eyes through the frame.
I like this shot because it has numerous grain elevators, that pepper Buffalo’s waterways, in the frame.
