Composition In Digitial Photography: Part A

Artistic Composition:
The way an artist places their artwork together, or organizing artistic elements. This applies to all types of visual art, such as, music, writing, painting and photography. When working with digital photography, artistic composition is more commonly known as a page layout.

Rules Of Composition: 
Rule Of Thirds: This helps balance the composition. It divides the picture into three separate, equal columns and rows. Helps with over and under exposure.
                                           


Points Of Power: Points of power are part of the rule of third. Where two lines connect, is a point of power. These are helpful when figuring out the position of your subject.
                                               

The Golden Rule: The golden rule is a more mathematical way of dividing your photos. It is much like the rule of thirds, but in specific sections.
                                                               





Vertical and Horizontal Lines: Using any lines can increase the intensity of an image. Horizontal lines are most used to represent a lack of change, showing an being frozen in time. Whereas vertical lines are more used for stability or peace, tranquility can also be achieved. 
                                                     

Oblique Lines: Oblique lines work well for making eyes see the whole picture. They can create points of interest and also more depth by adding perspective.
                                              


Curved Lines: Curved lines can lead your eyes into a scene, the curves being alluring.
