photography composition: a place for your images…

April 2, 2010 · Posted in Basic 

For me this has to be one of the most important thing you could learn in photography. No matter which camera you use this is a universal thing you could use. Composition is the placement of your subject in the picture to give more emphasis on it. It is after all what you are trying to portray or show right? any beginners, Including me.. probably started like shooting you subject dead center.. A common mistake. Yes rules are ment to be broken but in order to do so you have to know the rules.

Rules of thirds

One of the oldest and one of the easiest thing you could do to give your image more impact. Now in order to pull this imagine your camera frame and put a “tick-tac-toe” grid on it (dividing the frame in to 3 horizontally and vertically). Now try to put your subject where the lines meet and that’s it.. Now you get the rules of third. This is not limited to Photography if you notice movies or other media you might notice the rule of third in action

Leading Lines

I don’t know why(maybe someone could answer it, hehehe) but the eyes naturally follows line.. it may be a road, a dock, even a winding road anything that “points” to where your subject is the eyes will follow

Frame withing a frame

Like the name suggest you just put your subject in a frame. example of frames, windows, arches, door frames, some branches that you can use to make your own frame.. ect..

Fill the frame

No, this is not framing.. well in a way it sort of is.. but the main point of this is to put as much of your subject in your frame to remove distracting backround or to give it an element of mystery.

so that’s it for now. try to play with the different composition techniques. set your cam to auto mode or any mode you want and shoot shoot shoot..

    Just right points?I’d observe that as anyone who in reality doesn’t write on blogs a lot (in truth, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term ‘lurker’ may be very changing into to a non-posting reader. It’s now not your fault in the least , but in all probability the blogosphere may just come up with a greater, non-creepy identify for the ninety% people that revel in reading the content material .
