Essential Rules of Basic Photography Anderlee Gonzalez

Rule of Thrids

FRAME YOUR IMAGE WITH THE SUBJECT OFF CENTER IT'S MORE PLEASING TO THE EYE AND APPEARS MORE NATURAL THAN PLACING THE SUBJECT IN THE CENTER.

The direction of attention are the bright colors of the flowers. The exposure was just perfect, there was no overexposed or underexposed areas in the pictures. The flowers were in sharp focus. The focus was on point and it fit perfectly to the surroundings. These pictures are taken in a low depth of field. The lighting is soft and brings attention to the flowers. The flowers grab the main attention because the colors stand out.

Simplicity

DECLUTTER THE BACKGROUND, ZOOM IN TIGHT TO ELIMINATE BACKGROUND "DISTRACTIONS", OR CHANGE YOUR ANGLE SO YOUR SUBJECT REMAINS THE FOCUS OF THE IMAGE.

The direction of attention is the bird on the branch. The exposure was not overexposed or underexposed in the area, the exposure was just right. The bird was in sharp focus. The focus was perfect there was no distracting elements in the background. The pictures were taken in a low depth of field. The lighting was soft and grabs the attention to the bird. The colors make the bird stand out and is effective in color.

Leading Lines

Use architecture lines - walls, fences, roads, or any lines to lead the eye through the photograph and draw attention toward the main subject.

Leading Lines

The direction of attention is the rose on the white line. The exposure was amazing, it was not overexposed or underexposed. The rose is in sharp focus, and there are no distracting elements in the background. This picture was taken with a depth of field of deep. The lighting was soft and brought the picture to life. The color of the rose gets more of your attention because it is the most brightest object in the picture.

Spacing

CREATE A SENSE OF MOVEMENT BY ADDING ACTIVE SPACE (THE AREA YOUR SUBJECT IS FACING) AND ELIMINATING DEAD SPACE (THE AREA BEHIND YOUR SUBJECT).

The direction of attention is on the ladybug. The exposure was amazing, it was not overexposed or underexposed. The ladybug is in sharp focus. The depth of field is deep. The lighting is soft which is perfect for this scenario. The color of the ladybug is attention grabbing that is because the bright red i the brightest color in the picture.
