How do I compose a photo?


This week I am going to focus on composing a photo. Having searched a lot I have come across a few tips which have made getting the photo "right" so much easier.....




Tip # 1


Lets start with the good old favorite the "Rule of Thirds" - 'One of the most popular 'rules' in photography is the Rule Of Thirds. It is also popular amongst artists. It works like this: Imaginary lines are drawn dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. You place important elements of your composition where these lines intersect.' Of course some of the most stunning pictures break this and most of the following 'rules'. But whether you follow them religiously or break them rebelliously its worthwhile knowing them. Sometimes breaking them can create the most effective photo's!

This is me being a rebel!!! LOL :-)
