‘Composition’ the main stay for pictures

After mastering the art of lighting for taking good pictures the next step is to ensure that you compose your picture well. In general, good pictures result from careful attention to some basic elements of composition, together with appropriate lighting and an interesting subject. Three photographers recording the same scene may create equally appealing photographs with entirely different composition.


So always play by ‘The Rule of Thirds’ which is based on the fact that the human eye is naturally drawn to a point about two-thirds up a page. Crop your photo so that the main subjects are located around one of the intersection points
rather than in the center of the image. Your landscapes will be optimally pleasing to the eye if you apply the Rule of Thirds when you place your horizon line. If the area of interest is land or water, the horizon line will usually be two-thirds up from the bottom.

Alternately, if the sky is the area of emphasis, the horizon line may be one-third up from the bottom, leaving the sky to take up the top two-thirds of the picture. Identify a
primary point of interest before taking the picture. When you’ve determined which area is the most important to you, you can compose to emphasize it.

So take your camera out and shoot with the mode you like to use the best.
But if you are planning to use the all manual mode for a 400 ISO, you can
set the Aperture at f -11 and the Shutter speed at 250 per sec. When you’ve determined which area is the most important to you, you can compose to emphasize it. So take your camera out and shoot with the mode you like to use the best.
