Composition and framing

Today we look through the National Geographic magazine and find example images which include one or more of the composition and framing rules.

this pictures shows rule of thirds.

(picture of  Rule of thirds states than an photograph is most pleasing when its subjects or regions are composed along imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds — both vertically and horizontally 

By placing these around the edge of the composition you help to isolate the main subject from the outside world.

The result is a more focused image which draws your eye naturally to the main point of interest.

this picture is framing.






Before photographing your subject, take time to think about where you will shoot it from. Our viewpoint has a massive impact on the composition of our photo, and as a result it can greatly affect the message that the shot conveys. Rather than just shooting from eye level, consider photographing from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a long way away, from very close up, and so on.
