  1. Photo Composition

  2. Strong Focal Point • usually best to have one main subject as the focal point • can be one object or several • make sure nothing detracts from the focal point • Lacking a strong center of interest forces the viewer to search for something to observe, eyes seeking a resting place. • all other elements are subordinate. • Even if the focal point is small, it can be given prominence by composing empty space around it.

  3. Clutter • Is this a picture of boats? Of mountains? Is it supposed to be a picture of boats in front of mountains? Mostly, it’s just a confusing jumble of elements. • Which one’s better?

  4. Rule of Thirds • Divide your image into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. • Position the most important elements in your picture on these lines. • Doing so will add balance and interest to your photo. • Do NOT put the horizon lines directly through the middle of the frame, bisecting the scene. • give emphasis either to a dramatic sky or an interesting foreground.

  5. Leading Lines • When we look at a photo our eye is naturally drawn along lines. • pull us into the picture, towards the subject, or on a journey "through" the scene. • different types of line - straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, etc.

  6. Symmetry & Patterns • Interesting

  7. Viewpoint • Rather than just shooting from eye level, consider photographing from • high above • down at ground level • from the side • from the back • from very close up
