How do you decide to frame your subject ?

                                     

 frame your subject

 It does not matter which digital camera you use, composition is one of the best ways to improve your picture. which of the elements in the scene you need to take in or take out is the very first step for clicking good pictures.

 There are no defined set of rules on how to get this done - but there are some approaches which works better than others do. These composition rules can be applied whether you use a simple phone camera or sophisticated SLRS.

Looking up: The ancient stone staircase shot at sunset creates a contrast between the straight lines of the steps and the walls.



Controlled pose: Posed portraits, especially in the studio gives the photographer more control over the composition because you can ask the model to move as you wish. the stance of women creates a dramatic and powerful portrait.

Less is better: Cropping close into the picture allows you to concentrate on the essential elements and eliminate unnecessary details. The composition creates a picture that focuses on the roof lights.





Composing Landscape: The picture in image is primarily about the sea island landscape, but including a human in the foreground creates an interesting composition. The man helps to guide a visual path linking the two landscapes – the travelling man and the distant sea island.


Framing the Bridge: Sometimes, the frame can be as interesting as the subject itself can. While shooting the bridge the photographer thought to include the green mountains or forest to create an interesting shot and to fill-up the frame.


Capturing Sports: Framing the sports so that the key objects are placed diagonally expresses the actions much better than if they were placed parallel to the sides. The snowy surface and the snowboarder's body position create useful diagonal lines.


The Rule of Thirds: It's a 'thumb rule' or guideline for composing images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. It proposes that a picture should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced vertical and horizontal lines and that the subject should be placed along these lines or their intersections. As said by many, that aligning a subject with these points creates more energy, tension and interest in the composition than just simply centering the subject. Demonstrates the application of the rule of thirds. The horizontal line consists of the horizon, which divides the photo's lower third from the upper two-thirds. The subject sits at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point or a crash point.


Hanging Off-Center: It is quite tempting to frame the subjects tightly in the middle, but giving a visual imbalance creates great shots. This creates a perfect click

An ideal background can work out one of the two things. Either it adds something to the composition or it can be chosen so that it does not distract from the main subject. A picture of circle advertising works perfectly as a fitting backdrop for the clown's portrait.
