The document provides photography composition tips including the rule of thirds, leading lines, symmetry and patterns, depth of field, headroom, and lead room. The rule of thirds suggests imagining an image divided into thirds to create a more balanced composition. Leading lines guide the viewer's eye through the photo along elements like roads or stairs. Symmetry and patterns can make eye-catching compositions when expected or unexpected. Depth of field refers to the zone of acceptable sharpness, and the aperture affects how the camera focuses. Headroom addresses the vertical position of the subject within the frame. Lead room includes space in front and the sides of the subject.

The document discusses several rules and techniques of photography composition, including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into thirds and placing subjects at the lines or intersections to create a balanced composition. Framing uses other elements in the scene to draw attention to the main subject. Leading lines guide the viewer's eye through the photograph. Balancing elements prevents empty space by adding secondary subjects. Symmetry and patterns can make visually interesting compositions. Depth of field refers to the zone of sharp focus that extends in front and behind the main subject.Rules of composition

The document discusses several photography composition techniques including the rule of thirds, leading lines, symmetry and patterns, depth of field, framing, and viewpoint. The rule of thirds involves dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically and positioning key elements of the photo along those lines. Leading lines draw the eye through a photo along lines in the composition. Symmetry and patterns can make eye-catching photos when used or broken intentionally. Depth of field and overlapping objects create a sense of depth in two-dimensional photos. Framing isolates the subject using natural frames. Viewpoint, such as bird's eye or worm's eye views, impacts the message conveyed.TMP100 U02: Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline where an image's subject should be placed along imaginary lines that divide the frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically. Important elements are positioned at the lines' intersections or along them for more appealing composition compared to centering subjects. Photographers should consider leaving space in front of moving subjects and placing the horizon closer to the top or bottom third of frames rather than directly in the center. While not a strict rule, applying these principles can improve photo balance and impact.Photography composition

The document discusses several rules of photography composition including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into thirds and placing the subject at the intersection points. Framing uses something around the subject to focus attention. Leading lines guide the eye through the photo from foreground to background. Balancing elements places the main subject off center for interest but adds another object to avoid empty space. Symmetry and patterns create strong focal points but need an interesting subject. Depth of field controls sharp and unsharp areas in the image.Intro to photography

The document provides guidance on composition techniques for photography. It discusses the rule of thirds, using lines, balance, and perspective. The rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into nine sections and placing subjects at the intersection points. Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines can be used to guide the eye and create movement. Balance can be formal, with equal elements on both sides, or informal, with different weighted elements. Perspective, such as shooting up or down, impacts how large or powerful a subject appears. Understanding these composition fundamentals allows photographers to intentionally frame shots, but rules can also be broken creatively.Photo composition

Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears in focus in a photograph. A narrow depth of field blurs the background and foreground, emphasizing the subject. Depth of field depends on the distance to the subject and the aperture - closer distances and wider apertures decrease depth of field. The rule of thirds suggests composing images so that points of interest lie along imaginary lines that divide the frame into thirds, creating a more balanced and engaging photograph. Understanding factors like depth of field and composition techniques can improve one's ability to creatively capture images.Photography rules powerp finished

The document discusses several photographic composition techniques:
1) The rule of thirds divides an image into thirds both vertically and horizontally to place subjects along the lines or intersections for a more balanced image. Studies show people's eyes are naturally drawn to these points.
2) Framing focuses attention on the subject by surrounding it with another object or edge of the image. Vignetting reduces brightness around the edges of an image.
3) Leading lines such as rows of trees or houses guide the viewer's eye through the photograph to a focal point.

The document discusses various established composition guidelines photographers can use to improve their photos, including the rule of thirds, balancing visual weight, using lines to guide the eye, incorporating symmetry or breaking patterns, considering viewpoint, managing the foreground and background, adding depth through layering, using natural frames, cropping tightly to the subject, and experimenting through digital photography's lack of costs. These guidelines are presented as tools to create more compelling images but with the acknowledgement that composition has no strict rules.Photography and graphic manipulation

Photography rules of composition include centering subjects, using the rule of thirds to position important elements along grid lines, considering viewpoint and angle, using natural frames and lines to guide the eye, and creating depth through foreground, middle ground and background elements. Photographers should also avoid busy backgrounds that distract from subjects and feel free to experiment with different compositions.Ayv shot compositionhandout

The document discusses various techniques for composing shots and framing photographs effectively. It recommends paying attention to elements in the frame and background, following the rule of thirds for subject placement, adjusting the foreground and background with aperture settings, changing the line of sight and camera angles, including elements that guide the eye, finding patterns, getting close for texture and details, and cropping to emphasize the intended subject. It also defines different types of camera shots and angles that can be used.Composition

The document provides 10 tips for improving photo composition:
1. Simplify scenes by choosing a clear subject and focal point.
2. Fill the frame and get close to the subject to avoid empty space and confusion.
3. Experiment with vertical and cropped shots to improve composition beyond horizontal shots.
4. Place the subject off-center rather than in the middle for more interesting photos.
5. Use lines like those from walls, roads or implied gazes to guide the viewer's eye through the photo.
6. Add drama with diagonal lines from wide angles or tilted camera positions.
7. Leave space in front of moving subjects or those looking off-frame for aRecently uploaded (20)

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM’s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM’s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO’s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Photography Rules
- 2. Rule of Thirds The rule of thirds can help you create well balanced and interesting shots. The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts. With its usage your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.
- 3. Leading lines Leading lines refers to a technique of composition where the viewer of your photos is lead into the picture e.g. by staircase, roads or street. A leading line seems as it paves an easy path for the eye to follow through various elements of a photo. Usually they start at the bottom of the frame, from the foreground of the image to the background, typically leading toward the main subject. It helps create depth in the picture
- 4. Symmetry and Patterns Symmetry is the creation of an image which can be separated into two equal parts whereas patterns can occur when solid graphical elements such as shapes, colors, tones, and forms or lines continue to repeat themselves. We are surrounded by symmetry and patterns, both natural and man-made., They can make for very eye-catching compositions, particularly in situations where they are not expected
- 5. Depth of field In basic words Depth of field is the zone of acceptable sharpness within a photo that will appear in focus. Aperture refers to the access given to light from the lens to the camera sensors which affects how the camera focuses on an image or a scenery. Using the aperture of your lens is the simplest way to control your depth of field as you set up your shot.
- 6. Head Room Headroom is a concept of aesthetic composition that addresses the relative vertical position of the subject within the frame of the image. Headroom refers specifically to the distance between the top of the subject's head and the top of the frame The First Image has No headroom whereas the Second has a minimum headroom and the last one has Too much unnecessary headroom.
- 7. Lead room / nose room The term lead room, nose room or 'looking room’ includes the sense of space on both sides of the image. The space in front, and in the direction of the subject is facing or moving. When the human eye scans a photograph for the first time it will expect to see The lead room is a compositional technique, important to bear in mind, even if you are trying to break the guideline. Altering or cutting the lead room has the potential to alter the mood or feeling of an image, It can add tension and make the scene feel uncomfortable.
