Photography Hints Part 1

Here are some helpful hints 1-4 to help make you be a better photographer:

1.Rules of third-Imagine that your image is divided into nine equal segments by two vertical and two horizontal lines. Try to position the most important things in your scene along these lines, or at the points where they intersect. Doing so will add balance to your photo.

2.Balancing elements-Placing your main subject off-center, when using the rule of thirds, creates a more interesting photo, but it can leave an empty space in the scene which can make it feel dull. You should balance the 'weight' of your subject by including another object of lesser importance to fill the space.

3.Balance and patterns-We are surrounded by balance and patterns, both natural and man-made, and they can make for very eye-catching works of art. Another great way to use them is to break the balance or pattern in some way, by straining the eye to the main point in the scene.

4.View point-Before photographing your subject, take time to think about where you will shoot it from. Our view point is forced on the main piece of our photo, and it can greatly affect the message that the shot expresses. Rather than just shooting from eye level, consider photographing from above, at ground level, the sides, the back, far away, close up, and so on…

Hope these help! And I can’t wait for part two of this column! (:
