Learning Digital Photography
Composition...
Digital Photography comes from a combination of the heart and mind. It’s very easy to take a snap. But in making digital photography work for us, we need to be very conscious of what we’re doing. We need to think about how the photo will turn out based on what we are aiming for...the composition of the photo. So what is composition?
Good composition is the ability to see something in the real world as a photograph. Once you have imagined how something in the real world could look in a photo, you proceed to take that photo as you have imagined it would look. Camera usage and photographic techniques help to create a photo that will represent your imagination. Your artistic eye should work in conjunction with your technical knowledge.
Once you gain confidence with this, you will find it gets easier and easier to have your photos turn out as you imagined they would. Composition is the sum of all the visual tricks the photographer uses to make a picture pleasing. You decide what section of the subject to choose to put in view as you take the photograph. What you are doing is a leading the viewer’s eye. Great composition comes from the photographer being in control of what you look at and in which directions.
