Snapshot- a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time.
Photograph- an image taken with care and thought.
Rule of Thirds- imaginary lines drawn diving the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically.
- Place the important subject, or important elements of your composition where these lines intersect.
- Place horizon line at the top or bottom horizon divider.
- Or fill up the entire frame with the subject for a close up image.
Leading Lines- use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewers eyes through the photo.
- Lines can draw attention to one or more intended subjects or a single focal point.
Point of View- change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position.
- If you are photographing a subject that you want to seem very tall, compose the shot so that your camera is looking upwards.
- .....and vice versa
Simplicity- keep your backgrounds simple and clear of clutter.
- The mood and effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background.
- A chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away.
