Researching Composition!

I have chosen this particular picture as an example of the rule of thirds as the face of this model seems to sit on the horizontal intersection and therefore I think this creates more tension and interest into the picture!

I have again chosen this picture as an example of the rule of thirds because this puppy is placed on the vertical line at both intersections and I think doing this adds more energy to the compositional elements.

I think this is a good example of a visual lead in because the girls hand and arm is reaching out towards us and is making our eye line automatically lead in and focus on her.

Another great example of a visual lead in. I chose this photo because I thought this lit up bridge was a great lead-in towards the city.

I have chosen this picture as an example of a frame within a frame because I think it's interesting how the photo has been taken of the stain glass window with the rays of sunshine shining through but still with the shapes of the window incorporated within it. I think this adds impact and interest to the main subject.


I thought this was another good example of a frame within a frame because it has been taken inside a building and you can see that it has, but it also seems quite obvious that the main subject was of the famous zen garden!


I chose this photo as an example of short depth of field because this photo is a close up shot of a cow but shows another cow in the distance. You therefore have your main subject but you still know the surroundings of this animal.


Again, I also think this is a good example of short depth of field because you have a close up of one daisy but there are more in the distance which are slightly out of focus so we know our main subject is the close up of the daisy.

I think this shows the usage of long depth of field well because it is showing (from a distance) all of this city landscape and therefore we know that this is a picture of New York!

Another example of long depth of field. I chose this picture because it is showing the surrounding area but also a landmark to show you that this is a picture of London!

I really like this picture and I think it shows the use of the decisive moment well because the photographer has captured this at the perfect time to show the movement, which I think has a big impact!

  1. Great work Kate! You've picked some great examples of photographs that display the compositional techniques we looked at last week and your written commentary is perfect - some nice use of words there ;)
