Good or Bad? And why?
Composition
Rule of thirds
Simply put, you draw 2
imaginary lines (both horizontal
and vertical) at equal distances
from each other essentially
dividing your image into thirds,
hence the rule of thirds.
Basically, the rule is based on
the theory that the eye is
naturally drawn to those "thirds"
and the points at each
intersecting line.
Rule of thirds
Leading lines
Use leading lines to: Create
depth, Focus on subject and
making the image more
dynamic - Leading the viewer to
the main subject of your image
Framing
Use natural or man-made
frames to define the edges of
the image and draw out the
subject
Golden Triangle
• Why is it called a Golden
Triangle? The answer is
simple, it effectively uses the
same golden ratio used in
Rule of thirds. In fact, if you
superimpose the guide for a
rule of thirds with this one,
you will see that the
intersections in the Golden
Triangle fall on the same
spots as the power points
Repetition
The other common use of
repetition in photography is to
capture the interruption of the
flow of a pattern. For example
you might photograph hundreds
of red M&Ms with one blue one.
Fill the frame
One of the most effective and
simple composition techniques
is to fill your frame with your
point of interest. Doing so will
greatly enhance your digital
photographs and eliminate all
that background clutter.
