Week #5 post on Composition...
I really liked the article by KODAK...I understood the idea of composition but I didn't realize this..."You'll be aware that it is important to place figures or objects in certain positions. Figures should look into, not out of the picture. Fast-moving objects should have plenty of space in front of them to give the appearance of having somewhere to go. And remember that since bright tones or colours attract attention of the eye, the most important elements of the picture should be the lightest or brightest or most colourful." I've never really thought that the brightness and lightest parts of the picture was the most important. I always thought it was what you focused on was the most important...Now I realize that even that doesn't really matter sometimes with certain pictures, just by changing the angle or where the light touches can make it a great picture...

yeah i liked articles we were given, but there are lot of cool info on this stuff online that explains WITH visual examples. I think after reading about composition, it helped us to think better when taking a photograph for the next time!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree...I also looked at actual visuals they just helped when I went to take pictures this week for the other assignments...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, the light or dark areas of a photo draw the eye of the viewer to them, as does position of the subject, leading lines, framing and all the other elements of composition. Whatever one does to bring the eye to the subject of the photo is usually pretty powerful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you too about the part of leaving your object space in front of them to go. That's a concept I hadn't thought of before.
