Better Compostion..

I have people asking me how to take good photos, so I thought why no have past on it.

Beside the three fundamentals of photography: ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed, having a great composition in your photos are also very important.

As a lots of you do read on photography books, you will know on of the most common rule in them are the "Rule of the Thirds". This is helpful as it allows space around your subject, and "Allow Space Around Your Subject" is also something that makes your photo even better.

One thing you must remember is to try "Achieve Balance in a Composition" when coming to a landscape. So when you are composing a landscape photo next time: "Take Your Time", set the tripod, look though the finder,  balance you composing! then click the shutter. For landscape photography, its important that "Lead the eye of the viewer into the picture". So, if you come across a gate in the farm not closed, stop and take a picture. Do remember use the "Rule of third" in this exposure too.

Our human eyes likes to see things that are well balance, so you must try this "Symmetrical Composition". This would be something like the temple door, door fame or even while shooting micro, ie. side view of a flower.

Abbas Attar

"Colour? I am often asked: 'Why do you photograph in black and white? The world is in colour!' Precisely, it is because the world is in colour that i choose to represent it in black and white: i do not describe reality, but aim to transcend it. My work is highly subjective."
