Photo Composistion

Snapshot - is a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time.


Photograph - is a photo taken with care and thought.



Rules of thirds:

- Imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically.

- Place important subject, or important elements where those lines intersect. Place horizon line at the top or bottom of the horizontal divider.

- Fill up your entire frame with he subject for a close up image.


Leading Lines:

- Use the lines within the foreground or back ground or both to lead the viewers eyes through the photo.

-Use the lines to draw attention to the subject.



Point of View:

- Change the way your subject is perceived by changed the camera position.

- If you are photographing a subject that you want to seem very tall, compose the shot so that the camera is looking upwards.

- You can also look down on someone to make them seem small.




Simplicity:


- Keep your background simple and clear of clutter.

- The mood and effectiveness of the photo can be altered by what is in the back ground.

- A chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away.
