Keeping the Horizon Level

When you are taking a picture of a horizon, you want to keep the picture level. It may look okay when you take the picture, but later you will notice. It’s a good idea to keep the horizon on one of the three lines of the rule of thirds. It depends on the picture to decide what line to put it on. If you're taking a picture of a strong sunrise, then you would want to put the horizon on the bottom invisible line. If you have a picture of someone sitting with the sunrise behind them, then you would want to put the horizon on the top invisible line. It all depends on what kind of picture you are taking.

Point of View

Different points of view can create different effects when taking a picture. For example... you can stand on top of something to capture a birds eye view or you can lay down to take the picture from a bugs eye view. Remember, you don't always have to take the picture from straight on! Posted by: Hayley, Amanda and Laura

The rule of thirds

The rule of thirds states that the object of interest should be placed in one of the intersections of the imaginary lines. The imaginary lines are placed horizontally in thirds and vertically in thirds. This draws attention to the subject of the photo while still showing backround.

Framing a picture

To frame your picture, you use closer objects like vegetation to give your picture a more 3D, professional look. Make sure that the closer object is not considered as the main object of the picture. Posted by Andrew and Randell

Fill the Frame

Fill the Frame is to get as close as you can to the object in your picture. Make sure the background is simple, because otherwise it will distract people from the main subject of your picture. Posted by Tom and Mark
