Photography Lesson 2

What we've learnt in photography in media so far:

Rules of thirds- 

Cambridgeincolour(.com) says that the rules of thirds is "The rule of thirds states than an image is most pleasing when its subjects or regions are composed along imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds — both vertically and horizontally." The rules of thirds is generally used as a guideline for photographer more so when taking portraits. The rules of thirds allows the photographer to take better photos so they look more balanced and less busy.  

Depth of field-

Miri(.com) says that depth of field is "Depth of field is the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph. A preferred selection Depth of field ("DOF") in a focused subject in an image can be quite subjective." The depth of field is good for photographers as they can have what they want in sharpness in an gradual transition. 

Lighting-

There's lots of different types of lighting we can use, lighting is important as it changes the quality of the photo but also can change the way we look at the photo. Some examples of different lighting is soft light, hard light, synthetic lighting etc. 

Visual lead-ins/ Lead-in lines- 

A lead-in line can be any line to take the viewers eye to the image. It draws the viewers eye to the subject in your photo. 

Movement in photographs- 

Movement helps to bring the photo alive. So if the photo is blurry it shows something is happening and brings the movement in the photo alive, 

Model/Subject position-

The position of the model helps tells the story of your image and what it may represent.
