    Photography Composition: Leading Lines

    The document discusses several photography composition rules including leading lines, the rule of thirds, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, viewpoint, cropping, and framing. It instructs the reader to take photos inside their school demonstrating each rule. For leading lines, the eye is drawn along lines in a photo and different line types can enhance composition. The rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into thirds and positioning key elements along these lines. Balancing elements means including secondary subjects to avoid empty space left by off-center primary subjects. Symmetry and patterns that are unexpected can make eye-catching compositions. Viewpoint greatly impacts the message conveyed by changing perspectives like above, below, or close up. Cropping tightly on

    Photography Composition

    Leading Lines

    DIRECTIONS Go take one good photo (inside


    school) of each of the following Photography
    Composition Rules.

    When we look at a photo our eye is naturally


    drawn along lines. By thinking about how you
    place lines in your composition, you can affect
    the way we view the image, pulling us into the
    picture, towards the subject, or on a journey
    "through" the scene. There are many different
    types of line - straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag,
    radial etc - and each can be used to enhance our
    photo's composition.

    Rule of Thirds

    Imagine that your image is divided into 9 equal


    segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines.
    The rule of thirds says that you should position
    the most important elements in your scene along
    these lines, or at the points where they intersect.

    Balancing Elements
    Placing your main subject off-centre, as with the
    rule of thirds, creates a more interesting photo,
    but it can leave a void in the scene which can
    make it feel empty. You should balance the
    "weight" of your subject by including another
    object of lesser importance to fill the space.

    Symmetry and Patterns


    We are surrounded by symmetry and patterns,
    both natural and man-made. They can make for
    very eye-catching compositions, particularly in
    situations where they are not expected.

    Viewpoint

    Cropping

    Before photographing your subject, take time to


    think about where you will shoot it from. Our
    viewpoint has a massive impact on the
    composition of our photo, and as a result it can
    greatly affect the message that the shot conveys.
    Rather than just shooting from eye level,
    consider photographing from high above, down
    at ground level, from the side, from the back,
    from a long way away, from very close up, and so
    on. * Hint Lay down or take a photo from a
    high spot.

    Often a photo will lack impact because the main


    subject is so small it becomes lost among the
    clutter of its surroundings. By cropping tight
    around the subject you eliminate the background
    "noise", ensuring the subject gets the viewer's
    undivided attention. * Hint ZOOM IN close

    Framing
    The world is full of objects which make perfect
    natural frames, such as trees, archways and
    holes. By placing these around the edge of the
    composition you help to isolate the main subject
    from the outside world. The result is a more
    focused image which draws your eye naturally to
    the main point of interest.
