A bit more on how we see compositions in photographs…

We tend to equate horizontal scenes with quiet and tranquility….

and vertical photograph compositions suggest power and majesty.

We always … automatically look at people’s eyes first.

Or we will look to that part of the scene that stands out – contrasts – with the rest of the image.

So keep these factors in mind … there will be times when you need to draw on them to turn a rather straight-forward image into one that stands out…….

You will see more examples of composition among the other lessons, so let’s head back to the main page for MORE.
