Photography


Rule of Thirds

     One of the most popular 'rules' in photography is the Rule Of Thirds. It is also popular among artists. Imaginary lines are drawn dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically.



Leading Line

     Leading lines are lines within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image.



Framing

     A frame serves the double purpose of making a more aesthetically pleasing image and keeping the focus on the framed object(s) – it can also be used as a repoussoir, to direct attention back into the scene.




View Point

     It's the angle from which you take a picture, or the distance from which you take it. For example, you might stand right next to a tree and take a picture of the it with your camera pointing up, or you might stand 20 yards back and take a picture of it. These are two different viewpoints. Or, you might stand at the base of a mountain and take a picture of it towering over you, or you might be on the top of the mountain looking down at the rest of it.











Symmetric

      Keeping your subject symmetrical is another good technique to use in photography. You can also achieve amazing results by exploring interesting ways to show symmetry in your subject or finding a break in the symmetry
