Rule of Thirds:
9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. Tip, don't place the subject in the middle of the frame it unless its intentional. Balancing Elements: Placing subject/object off center. Try to add more "visual weight" into your picture. Leading Lines: The human eye is drawn to lines. Lines give enhanced detail and depending on where they start or end, the eye follows it. |
Symmetry/Patterns:
Commonly, people find symmetry to be eye-catching and keeps the viewer wondering/entertained. View Point: Gives the viewer a different perspective of what the artist is trying to show them. Background: Be aware of the background of your images for other people, objects, and subjects you don't want. |
APERTURE
Aperture is based around the amount of light that you let through the lens of your camera.The camera shows aperture with a decimal (Ex: F/1.8). The aperture is based upon the depth of field shallow/deep)which is based around focus. |
SHUTTER SPEED
Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter of the camera is open. On the camera shutter speed is represented by a fraction. When using shutter speed, depending on how fast it is, is how much light will be exposed to the photo or none at all. Most cameras are put to 1/4000 which is really fast and won't get a lot of light in. |
ISO
This feature of the camera is based on the level of sensitivity the camera is to light. If the ISO is on a lower setting, it doesn't allow much light into the lens making the image darker. Opposed to a higher setting, which takes in a lot of light and makes the image brighter. |

White Balance
This setting on the camera, is similar to a filter. Depending on how bright the surroundings is, like being outside on a bright day, the white balanced would be changed to make the image a "balanced" clear white rather than over exposed or under exposed. |
