Camera Composition

 






Welcome back to my blog!

Today, we're continuing with the topic of shots and angles, and we're going to be looking at the rules of camera composition and how they affect photographs. Let's go!

 So, we're going to begin with the Rule of Thirds, which divides an image into 3 parts both vertically and horizontally. This places the object which we want the viewer to see in the center of the photograph, and helps make the photograph seem natural to our eyes. 

Next, we have framing. Framing uses elements of a scene to create a frame within a frame. It uses the area around the focal point (what the viewer should be focusing on) to draw attention to it, and this can be in the form of contrasting colors, a difference in brightness, etc.

Finally, I need to highlight depth of field, which in my opinion is the most important of the three. Depth of field is classified as the bluriness around the focal point of an image. If you've ever taken a photo and seen that the area around what you photographed is blurry, you're using depth of field. There are two different types of depth of field, shallow and deep. Shallow depth of field involves making the area behind the focal point blurry to show emphasis, as seen in the banner for this post. Deep depth of field is the opposite, where the focal point shifts to what would be the background of an image with a shallow depth of field. Once again using the background for my banner as an example, if the man's head were clearly in view and not blurry, that would showcase a deep depth of field.


Goobye, and see you soon with another update!
