 | Tips for Winning Photos | Nov 7, 2008 |
Focus on your subject The first rule of composition is to think about your subject. There should be a specific element in a photo -- a person, a flower, a cat, a building -- that you want to emphasize. Typically, you'll want to arrange the scene so that this subject is along one of the "third lines" in your photo (not dead center or way off to the edges). Imagine dividing your photo into a grid with two vertical and two horizontal lines; if you put your subject along one of these lines, you'll get the most visual impact. This trick is called the Rule of Thirds, and it's perhaps the single most important guideline in photography. And be especially careful to put the subject in sharp focus. If the subject is sharply defined, it's OK (and sometimes even a good idea) for the rest of the photo to be out of focus. How do you know that your photo works? Show it to some friends, and their eyes should be drawn to the subject like a magnet. The reader who submitted this Hot Pic entry clearly saw beauty in these flowers, but this photo doesn't really deliver a definable subject. The flowers are out of focus, and the photo lacks crisp composition.   | My Work | Jul 7, 2009 |
