back to basics...

Today we are going back to the beginning, we are working on composition. Your task is to review each of the compositional techniques below and then go out and shoot 1 GOOD image for each technique. These are basic practices that should be ingrained into your brain and you should consider each of these with every shot you take (for class and otherwise!).

  1. Angles -- finding unique angles to shoot from. examples
  2. Filling the frame -- fill your shot with interesting stuff, examples
  3. Framing -- create a frame withing a frame (use objects to frame in your subject). examples
  4. Lines -- use lines to lead your viewer deeper into your image. examples
You will be doing this with the Nikon D40 cameras set on Manual mode where you adjust the exposure (shutter/aperture)
