Tajuk nya...IMAGE COMPOSITION
Composition has been defined as a laying of comparative objects and elements in an artwork ( www.photographylife.com).
DEFINITION OF COMPOSITION IN PHOTOGRAPHY
This can be described as placing essentials or features within a photograph in a way that fits the central idea or target of your work
(www.digitalcameraworld.com).
GOOD COMPOSTION
Good composition has been defined as the careful selection and arrangement of the photo’s subject matter within a frame (Busch: 2009
BASIC ELEMENTS OF GOOD COMPOSITION
It is a fact that best pictures are not by accident, they are calculated and crafted. The following will guide us on how to prepare and apply good composition in our photography. They are only guidelines your intelligence will tell you when to break the rules.
VISUALISING A CONCEPT FOR YOUR PICTURE
SIMPLICTY / CENTER OF INTEREST
Some of the prominent compositional techniques to have centre of interest are
as follow:
Most prominent should be your center of interest : you may think that Sister Hafsat should be pictured but if she stands in front of a latest car in town, she can hardly be noticed.
SINGLE CENTER OF INTEREST
Center of interest should be the brightest object or should not be conquered by
a brighter object. Dazzling background and reflections should not distract
viewers from your core subject.
SUBJECT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE MIDDLE
FRAMING & THE RULE OF THIRDS
The best position to be assigned to an important subject is usually at one of the
points located one third of the way from top or bottom and sides of the frame.
Burch (2009) defined rule of thirds as a process of breaking up your picture
horizontally and vertically into thirds
RULE OF THIRD
Leading LINE AND CURVES
Your viewers will like to see the subjects arranged interestingly. Lines and
curves within your image can direct your eyes toward your focal point. Line and
curves can be in a form of walls, fence, building, roads, falls etc
FRAMING AN IMAGE
Usually, printed pictures are put in physical frames for some reasons. Border
delineates the shape of the picture and help to center attention on the image
Within the frame. We can apply the basic notion on framing to create an
attractive border within our picture by utilizing the following guidelines:
Search for clear framing shapes where you can place your composition, example; doo-ways, windows, spaces between building, etc
Change position to edge the shot so that the forefront object create a border around your image.
Situate your frame in the foreground
Use your frame to breed a sense of depth.
As conclusion there a few basic composition which are;
Photo Talk,Simplicity,Rule Of third,Breaking the rule,Balancing ,Line ,Framing ,Depth
Theme and Moods
Characteristics of a good photo
-Shape
Tends to be noticed first, before texture and pattern
Easiest and most recognizable composition tool
Shape helps create a mood/character for the picture
Search for the unconventional or surprise shape in objects
-Line
Lines create
Shape,Pattern,Depth,Perspective Line leads the eyeFocal point/subjec,tDiagonals,S-curves
Pattern
Orderly combination of shape, line, or color
Pattern can help echo the character of a photo
Catching attention
Random patterns
Slight variation in a pattern
Pattern in common places
Texture
Adds realism (sense of touch) to a photo
Sharp (hard) light highlights texture
Especially important for close-up and b/w shots
Side lighting highlights texture
Most portraits use front lighting to decrease texture on skin
Using light for depth
Sometimes hard light is inappropriate for illustrating shape and depth
Soft side lighting can give a sense of shape and depth without high contrast
Portraits
Still life
When shape/depth is more important that texture
Giving perspective
Linear—Lines which converge into the distance
Diminishing size—objects further away are smaller
Aerial perspective—atmosphere creates haze, which lightens objects farther away
Shooting Technique
high angle
Low angle
EYE level/normal angle
Panning
Panorama
Silhoute
Reflection
