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.
The basic skills of camera work incluse different shot types:
Wide Shot
Medium Shot
Close up
Point Of View
Weather Shot
Rule of Thirds:
It is one of the most popular 'rules' in photography. You draw imaginary lines dividing the image into thirds, nine equal squares.
You place important elements as people, animals etc. where these lines intersect, on the so called 'Hot Spots'. This rule helps you to arrange nice for the eye images as we read from left to the right.
