White Balance

Sometimes the picture on a camera can appear blue or yellow, white balance corrects that if you point the camera at something white e.g a sheet of paper.


1.Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds means that a photo will look better if the subject is in the top or bottom/left or right third of the photo, but never in the middle.


2.Balancing Elements

This rule of photography means that, when taking a photograph you should have the main subject of your photo off-centre but also have a smaller subject of lesser importance in the space left by your subject


3.Leading lines

When looking at a photograph our eyes naturally look along lines that occur in the photo. This means you can make the subject of your photo stand out even more by having lines that lead up to it.

4.Symmetry and pattern

Our eyes are naturally drawn to symmetry and patterns, using these in your photographs can make your image very eye catching.

5.Viewpoint

the viewpoint of a photograph is the position from which you take it. This can greatly affect the way your photo is perceived 

6.Background

The human eye is very easily distracted, so it is very important to ensure that that your background blends in nicely with your subject so that it isn't too distracting.


7.Depth

Because a photograph is two dimensional it is important to make sure that all the different layers of the photograph are represented properly. a way to do this is by overlapping your objects.

8.Framing

Framing is very good way of making the subject of your photo stand out. To do this you should find an object in the foreground of your subject (e.g. a fence) and centre your subject in a gap in the fence making a natural frame.

9.Cropping

 Sometimes the impact of a photo is lost due to the fact that the main subject is too small. By cropping an image all the background "noise" is removed. This ensures the subject is the centre of attention.
