Difference between Snap Shots and Photographs
- Snapshot = is a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time
- Photograph = an image taken with care and thought
Rules of composition
Rule of thirds imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically.- Place the important subject or important elements of your composition where these lines intersect
- Place the horizon line at the top or the bottom horizontal divider
- Fill up your entire frame with the subject for a close up image
Leading Lines
- The use of lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewer's eye through the photo
- lines can draw attention to one or more intended subjects or a single focal point
Point of View
- Change the way your subject in perceived by changing 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
Simplicity
- keep your background simple, clear of clutter
- the mood and effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background
- a chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away
