Tajuk nya...IMAGE COMPOSITION

DEFINITION  OF 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

    Photo talks. You should decide what your picture will say and  also determine your audience. Is your photo communicating emotions: happiness, sorrow, mourning, sympathy, pains or a pathetic situation.




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
Zoom in Zoom out



Reflection

bye.....jumpa next week...
