Unit 57 Photography- Composition

What was the task? 

We had to research into the composition and rule of third in photos.  



What you learnt? The challenges?  I learnt that there is more in photography than simply taking a photo. It was difficult to find at first the rule of third, however with more research its clearer. 


How will this help you in the future of this course? - It will give me an insight into the type of photos taken.




What makes a good photo?

Good subject

Good lighting 

Good compostiton 

Leading lines-

If a photo has strong lines, make sure the lines lead the eye into the fram rather than out of it. The lines should lead to the main point of interest. 

Viewpoint/Angles

Vary Angels: Shoot at varying angles to capture a subject from a different view point. Move the camera higher or lower. For a dramatic effect, take some photos from a birds eye or a worms eye view. 

Dramatic lighting adds interest to a photo.
Silhouettes - subject made dark by photographing it against  a light background.

Framing- a subject by zooming or moving closer it draws attention to it.

Symmetry- An identical or near identical image of its other half. Use of symmetry often provides a formal balance.
