Photography Composition


Photo by FCaines, Rule of Thirds
 Using the Rule of Thirds in this photograph, FCaines effectively put emphasis on the puppy as the subject of the picture by aligning him off center, in line with the horizontal and vertical Rule of Thirds lines.

Photo by Carl K, Vertical Composition
   Using Vertical composition, the immensity of the road shows directs the eye into the point of interest which is the horizon. Vertical composition also eliminates the open space that would be on either side of the road-which are unimportant and take away from the impact of the road.


Photo By Luna Vandoorne, Horizontal Composition
   Using Horizontal Composition, Luna Vandoorne emphasized the mountains by aligning the horizon (in this case the meeting the mountain and the flat land) with the center of the picture. Horizontal composition also includes the far edges of the mountains, when Vertical composition would eliminate those edges.



Photo By ADMIN of Photo Junkie, Leading lines
  Using the rows of flowers, this photo is clearly emphasizing the windmill as the subject of the picture, focusing our eyes on the windmill by following the flowers' rows.



Photo By Simis on Flickr, Fill Frame
   By filling the frame of the picture with the butterfly, the subject is illuminated and is detailed and clear, making the impact of the butterfly more intense.


Photo By Keith Skelton, Visual balanced
   Because both sides of the house and the landscape are symmetrical, the picture reflects visual balance and fills the void of space that would be either side of the picture with a less important object, making us focus on the silhouette of the human.
