Composition:
Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.
Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.
The Rule of Thirds
If you divide a picture into thirds (vertically and horizontally) with imaginary lines you get the base for the rule of thirds. The interceptions of these imaginary lines are the so called 'hot spots'. This rule helps you divide the picture into certain areas which can be used to compose a balanced easy on the eye picture. It avoids the creation of unproportional pictures which are difficult to understand for the viewer.
