In the last tutorial of this series we talked about exposure, missed the post check it outhere. In this tutorial we are going to cover the basics of composition. Composition is extremely important, and is another key skill that a photographer must know. In this tutorial we are going to cover composition using the rule of thirds. The simplest and one of the most effect ways of making your pictures look great is to use the rule of thirds. This involves dividing up your field of view through the view finder into a 3×3 box like below.
To get a pleasing and interesting composition we place the subject on either one of the lines vertical or horizontal, on an intersection shown with a red dot, these are power points and will create a nice pleasing composition most of the time. Experimenting with this is great, but remember it is a rule of thumb and might not work perfectly each time. Below are a few examples of its use. This rule can be used for any type of photography and will become second nature to you in no time!
