Summary of pp.88-135
In page 88 to 135 of the book, “Learning to see creatively” (2003), the author, Bryan Peterson, stated that for amateur photographers, to take top-quality photograph is to master the composition and light in photographs.
Peterson indicated that to fill the frame is the most essential and easiest skill in composition of a photograph, but the first step is to figure out what your subject is, and then to focus on your subject until it fills the frame of the viewfinder in your camera (pp.88-89, 2003). The author as well mentioned in page 92 to 97 that the most useful technique to substantially improve the quality in photography is placing the most important elements into nine divided equal sections of a photograph (2003). In addition, Peterson (2003) proposed that the photograph’s emotional tone will be enhanced by mastering the three chief features of the available light: brightness, colour and direction (pp.130). According to the author, the best possible light will be that of the early morning and the early afternoon; yet it still depends on what the subject is and where the location of the subject is (2003, pp.130).
In conclusion, based on B. Peterson (2003) in page 88 to 89, the easiest way for an amateur photographer to take high-quality photographs is to master a photo’s composition and light. After identifying what the subject is, one of the important strategies in composition of taking photographs is to fill the frame with that subject, based on Peterson (2003.pp. 88-89). Moreover, according to the author (2003),the most essential and useful strategy to improve the composition of a photograph is to divide the appearance of a picture into nine equal sections and set the most important part of your subject along the third markers (pp.92-97). The author then stated that by mastering the three chief features of the available light, the photograph’s emotional tone will be enhanced (2003.pp.130-135). Using these strategies will make it easier to create a more compelling composition in arts such as in a photograph (Peterson, 2003, pp.88-135).

Hi, Alison.
You did good job!
Maybe your topic is about photo, I guess.
Your point of this summary is very clear, and easy to understand. I learned two important things for amateur are compostion and light. thanks.
However, I'm afraid to say one thing about your conclusion. Just take a look at the length or that. Isn't it too long? Maybe you tried to contain all of what you mentioned body paragraph already in the conclusion, because we're supposed to condense or summarize body paragraph in the end. So you just repeat what you said in that part, I think.
But there is nothing wrong I can anymore. You followed the guide line of summary perfectly.
And thank you for leaving your comments on my blog.
Have a good weekend.
