Photography notes

What makes a good photograph

  • Good subject
  • Good lighting 
  • Good composition 
Rule of thirds
  • Centre of interest; a photograph should have a strong focal point. Determine what it is before taking a photograph 
  • Simplicity; keeping compositions simple, avoiding busy background that may distract from the subject
  • Subject off centre; place the subject slightly off centre rather than the middle of the photo.
Leading lines
If a scene has strong lines, make sure the lines lead the eye into the frame rather than out of it. The lines should lead to the man points of interest.

Leading lines
Viewpoint/ angles
Shooting at various angles to capture different shots. Move the camera higher or lower than it usually would be. For dramatic effect use a birds-eye or worms-eye view.

Lighting
Dramatic lighting can add interest to a photo. Silhouettes make a subject dark as it photographed against a light background. 

Framing 
Framing a subject by zooming or moving closer draws attention to it.

Symmetry 
An identical or near identical image of its other half. Use of symmetry often provides a formal balance.
