Photography

(7) There are always two people in everypicture: the photographer and theviewer. (Ansel Adams)

- Photography is communication. But are we confussing our "listeners" by throughing in unessesary content, using bad grammar (rule of thirds/Odd numbers) Not jucing up our sentances by using exiting foreground and backgrounds?




The magic of photography ismetaphysical. What you see in thephotograph isn't what you saw at thetime (Unknown)

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.

Tips for setting up a photograph

Tips for setting up a photograph
Intro

Attention getter = ______________________

I love photography-bought Konica Minolta (SECIFICATIONS) camera __ years ago

I am going to be sharing with you 4 tips for setting up the content in a photograph - everyone and every camera can do these


1 Use 1, 3, or 5 objects, never 2 or 4

It’s what our eyes like
Exception of making two things close together

2 Rule of thirds (Towards end)

Put main objects along the lines
On humans, put the eyes along one of the lines


3 Never underestimate your foreground
Frame the picture
Draw the eye into the picture
Create a “looking out” effect (with flowers)


4 Figuring out what NOT to put in the photo is hard (example is a little dramatic

Maybe face shot instead of whole body
Maybe just crop some stuff out (sometimes on computer)

Conclusion
We have examined four tips for better photography content – use of odd numbers, the rule of thirds, use of foreground effectively, and figuring out what NOT to include in the photograph.
