Get in close, either by zooming in or even by using a macro lens, and look for the textures in a subject. Textures can also work to your advantage in creating images with strong compositions. Now you’ve got a repetitive pattern with a break in the pattern that creates a strong point of focus (the yellow apple). For example, what if that crate of apples were all red, but someone placed one yellow apple in the box. Look within subjects in a scene to find patterns.įor instance, you may see a crate full of apples and think nothing more of it, but with a tight composition on just the fruit, you’ve created a repeating pattern of color and shape. Patterns that are found in nature, or are man-made can give your image a strong composition. Subjects with repetitive patterns can make for interesting photographs as well. These same gridlines can help you to keep your horizons level and the vertical elements in your photo straight. Try a couple of different compositions to find the one you like best. The subject doesn’t have to be directly on the intersection but somewhere close to it. Try moving your camera so your subject appears where two of the lines meet. Doing so will generally result in a pleasant and balanced composition. The rule of thirds suggests that these points are the best places to position your subject. These gridlines are a guide to help you frame your image and won’t show up in your final picture. Some Nikon cameras even have a menu item that allows you to turn on gridlines in the viewfinder. When you look through your viewfinder or at the LCD screen, imagine a tic-tac-toe grid over the scene. The rule of thirds is a guide to help you do just that. One of the first questions to ask yourself when composing your picture is: "What is my subject?" Of all the things you see in front of you, which one is the reason for taking the photo? Once you've answered that question you can begin to work on how best to show that subject. ![]()
