Photography

what makes a good photo:

  •  composition
  • mis-en-scene
  • clear image/in focus
  • angles
  • stand out
  • captivating 


    Rule of Thirds
    • Divide your frame into nine equal parts by creating a grid that is composed of both horizontal and vertical lines.
    • Place the key feature of your shot at any of the four points where the lines of the grid converge.
    • Some digital cameras come with an option to place a grid over the LCD view which helps with your composition skills.
    • More engaging photograph




    Leading lines:
    • If a scene has strong lines, make sure the lines lead the eye into the frame rather than out of it. The lines should lead to the main point of interest. 
    • creates a story 


    Viewpoint/Angles:
    • Vary angles: Shoot at varying angles to capture a subject from a different viewpoint. Move the camera higher or lower than you usually do. For a dramatic effect, take some photos from a birds-eye (looking down) or worms-eyes view (looking up). 


    Lighting:
    • Dramatic lighting adds interests to a photo
    • Silhouettes-Subject made dark by photographing it against a light background (back lighting) creates mystery




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
















    Symmetry:

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