2. • Before we can consider photographic
composition, we need to remind ourselves
of a photography basic.
• That is keeping your camera steady.
• The most important point to remember
when taking pictures is to keep the camera
steady. To guarantee the sharpest pictures,
use a tripod or set the camera on a solid, flat
surface.
3. • When that is not possible, follow these tips:
• Stand with your feet firmly on the floor
or ground with your weight distributed
evenly on both feet. This will keep you
from swaying or weaving.
• Grip the camera firmly with both hands.
• Brace your arms against your body and
the camera against your head.
• Press the shutter release as smoothly as
possible.
4. • There are several ‘rules’ of photographic
composition.
• These include:
• rule of thirds
• leading lines
• framing
• depth of field (DOF)
• points of view
• lighting
5. • One of the most popular 'rules' in
photography is the Rule Of Thirds.
• It is also popular amongst artists and was
the creation of painters in the Renaissance.
• The aim of this style of composition is to
provide a bit of background in the photo, to
allow the photo to tell a story.
• Renaissance painters found that the eye
doesn't rest on the centre of a photograph.
6. • 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.
7.
8. • For portraits, placing the person’s face
where lines cross can make a more
compelling photo than if the person is
centered.
9. • You can also place the object along one of
dividing lines
• Situating the horizon on the upper or lower
line usually makes a well-composed
landscape photos.

14. • Use leading lines to draw the viewer's eye
through the photograph.
• This is an especially powerful technique to
draw the viewer's attention to one or more
intended subjects or a single focal point.
• A leading line can be almost anything: a
road, path, sidewalk, fence, river, hedge,
tree line or shadow.
15. • You will not find a strong leading line
around every subject, but you should look
for them if they are there and take
advantage of them.
• Lines in a picture should lead into, not out
of, the picture, and they should lead your
eye toward the main subject.
• Sometimes it is a matter of choosing the
right angle or point of view to make leading
lines lead into the picture.
16. • Starting a leading line from the corner of
your picture will often improve
composition.

26. • Leading lines DO NOT have to be straight;
in fact they are often more interesting if
they are not.
• Leading lines can also be combined with
the idea of a vanishing point. This is where
the leading line extends to the horizon.
• Framing is a very simple trick that will
make your photos look more professional.
Use tree branches, bushes, part of a building
or even a person to frame your subject and
give the photo a ‘deeper’ look.
27. • Framing is especially effective on overcast
days when the sky is white or gray.
• Position yourself so that a branch, for
example, covers most of the dull sky; such
positioning may also result in a much more
interesting point of view.

32. • Depth of field (or DoF) refers to the amount
of the photo that is in clear focus.
• A shallow DoF means only a small amount
of the photo is in focus.
• This is useful to isolate your subject from
the background.
33.
34. • Choosing different, or unusual, camera
angles allows you to explore different
points of view.
• There is no law that says all pictures have to
be taken from eye level and straight on.
• By taking a picture from a different angle,
you can produce a totally new feeling,
mood or effect.
• The worm's eye view can be pretty
interesting.
35. • By lying down on your stomach, you can
get flowers in the foreground to frame your
subject.
• If you are taking pictures of small children
or pets, getting the camera down on their
level can improve results.
• You can also avoid cluttered or ugly
background by changing your point of
view.
• Climbing up on things and looking down
from a high point of view offers lots of
different opportunities.

43. • With people looking up at the camera, you
will see just their faces without having to
pose their bodies or lining them up.
• From above, you can also use grass or
flowers as a background.
• Speaking of lineups, rather than having
your subjects lined up all the time, position
them in a relaxed or informal manner.
• Have them turn their shoulders slightly so
they do not appear so stiff.
• Use something like a rock or fence for a
prop to position them around.
44. • Finally, there is the issue of lighting.
• There are four kinds of lighting that come
into play when taking photos:
• front light
• side light
• back light
• flat light
• Most pictures use front lighting, where the
light falls directly on the subject.

51. • This kind of light generally insures bright,
well-exposed pictures, but it can cause
people to squint as they look directly into a
light source, such as the sun.
• Just as it sounds, side lighting means that
the subject is lighted from the side.
• This kind of lighting generally casts
shadows on half of the subject and produces
what photographers and artists call
modeling, where the surface of the subject
reveals any ripples, bumps or hollows.
52. • Scenic photos of landscapes are much
prettier when the sun is lower in the sky,
resulting in side lighting.
• The hours from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on
bright, sunny days are the worst times to
shoot outdoor photos.
• Early and late hours yield more saturated
colors and interesting shadows that create
textures or patterns.
