Move in close to the subject. Rule of Thirds When looking through the view-finder, draw imaginary lines as shown below. When used correctly, the rule of thirds provides greater interest in an otherwise boring subject. When taking a picture of horizontal or vertical lines, the picture will look more interesting if the line is not placed in the middle section of the photo. Balance It is important to balance a picture.
Good balance is the arrangement of shapes, colors, light and dark in a complementary way.
Using symmetry can divide a viewers attention. Framing The purpose of framing is to give a picture depth. Framing is using trees, animals and any other object to surround the picture to make it more interesting. Mergers A merger is when two separate objects appear to become one, usually occurring accidentally. Mergers occur when a subject appears to have something growing around it in the background.
