Photography Compostion

Task 1: Portrait and Landscape




The portrait and landscape images are taken depending on the subject in the image for example if you were taking a picture of a person it would be portrait and when taking a photo of the scenery you take the photo landscape. My photos kept to this rule as my photos with people in are portrait and my scenery shots are landscape. 


Task 2 : The rule of thirds






The rule of thirds is different depending on the subject in the photo for example if the subject was a person, their eyes should be one third of the way down the screen. If the photo is landscape  and the area of interest is the land or water the horizon line is two - thirds up from the bottom. Then if your area of interest is the sky then the horizon line should be one - third up from the bottom. My photos kept to the rule of thirds as I made sure that that everything lined up and was at the right position for the rule of thirds to be accurate.

Task 3 : Diagonal Rule



The diagonal rule is used when it is a shot of a fence, road or a stream, this is because shots are considered more interesting than it being shot straight. I kept my shots according to the rule as i tilted the camera slightly to make the shot diagonal. 

Task 4 : Symmetry




Symmetry is used in a shot to make the shot more eye-catching to the audience especially in places where you would not expect it to be. I have used this in my shots as i made sure that both sides were exactly the same in order to create the symmetry and that camera should the same amount of the door on each side. 

Task 5 : Balancing Elements



Balancing elements is when you place your main object to the side but fill the empty space with another object to balance the photo. I have used this slightly in my photo however it is not clear as to what is my main object is so if I were to do the shot i would find a better setting.
