Composition / Rule of Thirds / Principles underpinning composition • Using the Rule of Thirds comes naturally to some photographers but for many of us, it takes a little time and practice for it to become second nature. • The rule of thirds is probably the most often referenced photography rule of composition.

Composition / Rule of Thirds / Principles underpinning composition • The photography rule of thirds tells us to align our subject with one of the points where those lines cross. That means our subject is one third of the way “into” the picture space – from either the top or bottom, and from either the left or right. And that means it’s not in the middle.

If you place your primary focal point at the thirds position, you can place a secondary focal point at the diagonally opposite thirds position, as in the following images.

Composition / Rule of Thirds / Principles underpinning composition • Apart from the already mentioned rules that govern or guide composition there are also principles of design that underpin composition. These principles can also be used when composing or considering elements within a picture. The principles are: Domination/Emphasis Isolation Balance Repetition Alignment Contrast Rhythm Symmetry/Asymmetry Harmony

Exercise 4 Exercise 4a: Rule of Thirds Capture 3 Images adhering to the Rule of Thirds Using 1 person Using 3 persons Using a scenery When placing the image on the document for printing; place one image with the Rule of Third lines visible and another without the lines side by side (as instructed in class) (Put to use what you have learnt in the Zone system exercises here)
Exercise 4 Exercise 4b: Principles underpinning composition Capture 4 Images adhering to any of the mentioned principles below: Domination/Emphasis • Isolation • Balance • Repetition Alignment • Contrast • Rhythm • Symmetry/Asymmetry Harmony Print all 4 images on an A4 as instructed in class.
