The document discusses guidelines for achieving good composition in photographs. It outlines several important composition rules including balance, depth of field, framing, lines, the rule of thirds, simplicity, and symmetry. Specific tips are provided for each rule, such as using the rule of thirds to place the subject off-center, framing the subject with natural surroundings, and balancing empty space with a secondary point of interest. While the rules are important for composition, the document notes they are not absolute and can be broken to still create amazing photos as long as the photographer understands the rules.Lesson 3 photography

The document discusses several rules and techniques of photography including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves placing the subject off-center to create more interest. Framing uses natural or physical frames to focus on the subject. Leading lines direct the viewer's attention. Balancing elements avoids empty spaces by adding secondary subjects. Symmetry and patterns can create striking compositions when not overused. Depth of field makes the subject stand out by blurring the background.Introducing the CRAP Design Principles

The document discusses the four basic principles of design: contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity (CRAP). It provides details on each principle: Contrast involves making elements look different to make some stand out; Repetition creates unity through consistent visual elements; Alignment refers to purposefully placing elements so they are connected; Proximity is used to group related elements together or separate different groups. Mastering these four principles can help designers understand why something may not be working and identify issues quickly.Test shots

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 photo composition

The document discusses various principles of visual design arrangement including proximity, directionality, and figure-ground contrast. It explains that proximity means placing related elements close together to indicate they are connected. Directionality is about guiding the viewer's eye movement through a design in a particular sequence, such as using images looking inward towards the center of a page. Figure-ground contrast refers to ensuring letters and visuals have sufficient contrast with the background color for readability, such as using dark text on a light background. The document provides examples and tips for applying these arrangement principles effectively in visual designs.Introduction depth-of-field

The document discusses depth of field in photography. It explains that depth of field refers to the amount of the image that is in focus, and is primarily controlled by the aperture setting. A large aperture creates a shallow depth of field that blurs background details, while a small aperture produces a deeper depth of field keeping more of the image in focus. Factors like aperture, focal length, and distance to subject influence depth of field and how it can be optimized for different photographic effects and restored in post-production.Composition

Composition in photography involves framing the subject and elements within an image. There are 8 common rules of composition: 1) Fill the frame by removing empty space, 2) Eliminate distractions, 3) Follow the rule of thirds by placing subjects off-center, 4) Center subjects to create symmetry, 5) Incorporate leading lines, 6) Leave space around the subject, 7) Create depth with foreground and background elements, and 8) Consider different camera angles beyond straight-on. Following these rules can improve visual interest, balance, and focus on the main subject.Photography2 - composition

Composition is an essential element of photography that gives photographs their "soul". There are some basic rules to follow for well-composed photographs, such as having a strong central subject, positioning the subject off-centre following the rule of thirds, and ensuring the background does not distract from the subject. The camera angle should be chosen to best interpret the subject and draw the viewer's eye into the photograph. When photographing people, it is important to use their best side and include some activity to add dynamism. For group photos, be aware of backgrounds and ensure all faces are lit to avoid shadows.Critiquing research

Critiquing a photo involves carefully analyzing it as a group to determine what is good about the photo, what is not good, and how it could be improved. When critiquing, it is important to move beyond personal preferences and objectively evaluate the photo based on its style, clarity, composition, presentation, and use of values. Composition specifically relates to having a clear point of interest, balanced cropping, balanced use of lines, and an aesthetic style. Sample critiques are provided to demonstrate how to evaluate these various elements of a photo.How to Take Good Real Estate Photograph? | Tony Henrik Halttunen

Cropping can be used to emphasize or change the focal point of an image. Cropping tighter on a subject's eyes can make their eyes the clear focal point rather than their whole face. Cropping can also be used to balance an image by removing excess empty space on sides or by centering the focal point. Cropping out distracting background elements simplifies an image and strengthens the intended focus. The crop also influences the overall style and feeling conveyed by an image.Photography rules

The rule of thirds involves placing the subject off-center at the intersection points of an imaginary three-by-three grid over the photo. Framing uses natural or man-made frames to focus on the subject. Leading lines guide the eye through the photo from foreground to background. Balancing elements places the main subject off-center and adds another object to fill empty space. Symmetry creates a strong focal point with mirrored or balanced images. Depth of field controls what is in or out of focus to direct attention.Photography rules

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.Photography lession 02

- 1. Understanding of 6 Photographic Compositional RulesJosh Gallagher
- 2. SimplicityLook for ways to give the center of interest in your pictures the most visual attention. One way is to select uncomplicated backgrounds that will not steal attention from your subjects.
- 3. Rule of ThirdsBefore you snap the picture, imagine your picture area divided into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The intersections of these imaginary lines suggest four options for placing the center of interest for good composition. The option you select depends upon the subject and how you would like that subject to be presented.
- 4. LinesLines also play an important role in composition. This sculpture has some beautiful lines, but they're obscured by the busy background. Let's simplify this picture by moving our camera viewpoint in close to the base of the sculpture.
- 5. BalanceAchieving good balance is another one of our guidelines for better picture composition. Notice how the leaves, the window, and the couple all seem to be in the right place. The camera viewpoint and subject placement were all carefully selected to create this well-balanced photograph.
- 6. FramingTo frame is to make the center of interest with objects in the foreground. This can give a picture the feeling of depth it needs to make it more than just another snapshot.
- 7. Avoiding MergersYou can be sure the camera always sees mergers, so look for plain backgrounds before you pose your subject. In this case the correction was simple because the two settings were only a few feet apart.
