Images

Rule of thirds: In A-level photography I experiment with the rule of thirds for a project and I must say I really enjoyed how the photos looked in comparison compositions, rather than using a central focal point in photos the image is focused out side the middle which (in some cases) is more aesthetically pleasing then looking at the main object straight. Furthermore using the rule of thirds allows for a more range in background, even though your eyes are still fixated on what they’re supposed to be. This composition allows for more imagination in images without overwhelming the audience , the rule of thirds draws your eye to a main part of the image rather than it been directly smack bang in the middle, which emphasises and draws focus more to the image. In my opinion the rule of thirds adds a little more to an image and gives more space for creativity and as a viewer I would prefer this over a main focal point image. You can express this technique subtle and also not without blurring out backgrounds or adding more which can add and takeaway meaning. This also makes the audience question the meaning behind the image and why the composition is this way.

Landscape: in landscape images you’re able to see a larger perspective and a fuller view, rather than portrait where there’s a direct focus. This composition is good for pictures of stadiums because you get a fuller view. You can also capture beautiful scenic images primarily of the outdoors, this type of photography is also easy because you don’t need any models or props you can just capture the moment. The mistake you make with this is having no main focal point. Have you ever seen a sunset or a sunrise that was so striking to the eyes and then pulled out your phone to snap an image and the quality is awful? It’s common that we can’t always capture an image as we see it in our own perspective, so I believe it’s somewhat important to still have a focus to an image.
