photo composition

snapshot-is a quick shot,often spontaneous,taken to record a moment in time 




photograph- an image taken with care and thought 


rules of composition
rule of thirds-imaginry line drawn dividing the frame of your composition into thirds both horizontally and vertically 
place your subject where these lines intersect
place horizon line at the top or bottom 
fill up your entire frame with the subject for a close up image 
leading lines- use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the views eye through the photo 
lines can draw attention to one or more intended subject or a single focal point
point of view- change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position  
if you want the subject to seem very tall,compose the shot so that camera is looking upward 
visa versa 
simplicity-keep your background simple and clear of clutter 
the mood and the effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background 
a chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away
