Composition:
Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.
Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.
Rule of thirds: This is a 'rule' in photography in which images are mentally divided into both verticall and horizontal thirds in order to form a kind of theoretical grid over the image. The four points on the 'grid' on which the points intersect one another are known as hot spots. These are the points at which the eye is instinctivley drawn to and therefore become the initial primary focus of any image.
