Composition rules

1. Horiztonal Horizons

• hold the camera with the horizon (no jaunty angles)
• saves crop and loss

2. Rule of thirds -

• Use grid
• if person walking, put bigger space to the side they are walking. Move/See into.
• Focus on the eye
• Exception is reflection shots
• Composition beats fitting everything in

3. Framing

• Deliberately include something near in landscape photos to give it depth

4. Check your backgtound

• Make the subject contrast
• Don't like poles etc come out of peoples heads and distract

5. Fill the frame

• Folks know what things look like, crop them out

6. Leading lines

• use to guide the eye, make it come from the corner

7. Anything but eye-level

• go high and go low,
• meet a subject at their level (dogs, cats), more intimate
• take shots looking up

8. Look for details

• spot small things, reflections in eyes
• raindrops on leafs, feather details

9. Vertical shots

• some subjects fit this better, also changes landscape photos is it has a depth

10. Break the rules

• sometimes try a weird thing
