It is not uncommon in photography to create your own frame. Here are two examples.
The first is a statue of a Buddhist figure set back in a niche at Angkor Wat. The top half was almost invisible in the dark but I have used the magic of Lightroom to solve that problem. The stone surround and the top of a fence formed a natural frame when I looked through the viewfinder.
This is the old ‘through the window’ trick. A little Lightroom trickery was used here too. I exposed for the distant steps and used software to lift the deep shadows and enhance the natural frame. The dynamic range of a modern sensor is remarkable.
I’m back at work for a while and my evenings are spent reading an 800 page biography of Van Gogh. Until anon.
All downhill from here
