Composition Blog

Rule of Thirds - The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design

Vertical Composition - going up and down
 
Horizontal Composition - going side to side

 
 
 
Visual Balence -  In visual balance, each area of a painting suggests a certain visual weight, a certain degree of lightness or heaviness.

 
 
Balance - symetrical composition - Symmetrical balance is seen in perfectly centered compositions or those with mirror images. In a design with only two elements they would be almost identical or have nearly the same visual mass.
 
 
 
Move in Closer - macro photography - Macro photography is close-up photography. The classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane"
 
 
 
Landscape - Landscape photography is a genre intended to show different spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending
 

 
 Leading Lines - A leading line is a line formed by a pair of marks, which are generally man-made, that are used in position fixing and navigation
 
 
 

 
 
The Illusion of Perspective - Perspective is used to create an illusion of space and depth on a flat surface
 
 
Patterns - something that repeats
 

 
Natural Framing - Natural framing in photography is a common compositional technique whereby the photographer seeks out natural elements in the environment to serve as frames for the photograph.
 

 
Depth of Field: Shallow - Object focused on is clear and background is blurd so the attention is focused of the object.
 
 
Depth of Feild: Great - The depth of field does not abruptly change from sharp to unsharp, but instead occurs as a gradual transition. In fact, everything immediately in front of or in back of the focusing distance begins to lose sharpness — even if this is not perceived by our eyes or by the resolution of the camera.
 
Experiment -
Experimental photography is a phrase that includes alternative process techniques, and broadly refers to any photographic process

Taxi

I want to learn about this photo because I really like how the Taxi stands out in front of everything else in picture. I think it is really cool how the camera can capture that kind of thing. And i like how it is a moving picture. I like how the background is blurry so you can not really see it and all your focus is on the Taxi.

New York City Police

I want to learn about this photo because I like looking at things that are real, like something you can find on the street. Sometimes I just like taking pictures of random things like what this is. And sometimes they actually are a picture for a certain thing. That is why I like this kind of stuff.
