Project 3 (Questions)

 Why should you be clear about the subject?

  If you are photographing flowers, wide shots are fine but you should also try getting up close and making a feature of an individual flower.Don't have unnecessary empty or useless space in the photo. In some cases you may have a good reason for including empty space the rule is to leave out empty spacewhich serves no purpose. Only if it adds to the effect of the composition

Why do you compose the entire frame, not just the subject?

  If an object is not completely in shot, Some objects don't look good if you can't see the whole thing, or at least a certain amount of it. Partial objects can be awkward or even confusing. You can't always avoid this situation; sometimes it doesn't matter, and you may even use it for effect. However it is something to be mindful of — try to have a reason for including or excluding partial objects.

 Why use different camera angles?

  Many shots can be given added impact by simple changes in the camera view. The photo on the top right has quite a nice composition, but the effect is much more dramatic when the camera is rolled to the right.When the subject is a person, different angles can have a strong influence on how they are perceived. 

Why should you strive for balance?

  There are many types of "balance" in a photograph; for example, a mix of close and distant objects, a mix of light and dark, etc. Poor balance is not usually good, for example, a photo with too much light and no contrast.

Why use lines when composing your composition?

Different lines have different effects:

• Vertical lines emphasise strength, power and height.
• Horizontal lines emphasise width, stability and security.
• Diagonal lines have a more dramatic, dynamic effect than vertical and horizontal.
• Curved lines reflect nature, relaxation, sensuality, etc.

Lines can be used to direct the viewer's interest, emphasize parts of the frame, and generally create interesting effects.
