Rule of Thirds
We at shutterbug academy teach you the basic rule of thirds and how to implement it in your image. We have a natural tendency to want to place the main subject in the middle. Placing it off center using the rule of thirds will make for an attractive composition. This rule can also be applied for landscape where the photographer keeps the horizon on the 1/3 grid keeping the majority of the image he/she wants to emphasis on the lower or upper grid.
Shooting at low Aperture
Shooting at f 2.8 gives a very shallow depth of field, due to which the background is out of focus and only the subject the photographer needs to highlight is in focus. This is also very pleasing to the viewer. You need to be careful while shooting at low f no. since you may miss focus.
Lights in our Image
Lighting determines not only brightness and darkness, but also tone, mood and the atmosphere. Therefore it is necessary to control and manipulate light correctly in order to get the best texture, vibrancy of color and luminosity on your subjects. We at shutterbug academy, will help you Understanding light and its effect on the final image is very important, even though we have no control over the most powerful and important source of light – THE SUN.
Using Lines
When it comes to bringing attention to specific parts of a frame, lines are one of the best ways to do so. What better way than a nice, strong line pointing RIGHT at the subject to catch the viewer's eye?
Leading lines are just that – lines that point you into the frame, towards the subject. In addition to lines that lead in to a composition, you can have multiple lines that converge into the frame, or towards the subject.
