Compositional Trick #3 Macro

Macro allows the photographer to zoom in on miniature objects so that it creates a more interesting photo. It will allow the viewer to see things that would normally be overlooked. It is good for a photographer to know about macro because they could use other compositional tricks such as leading lines and rule of thirds to create a nice photo.

Compositional Trick #2 Leading Lines

Leading lines are used to direct the viewer to the point of emphasis. Leading lines can also be used to lead the viewer into and around the photograph. In this case, I used the leading lines to focus on the square and its shadow, but because of the other lines in the photo, it draws the viewer to different parts of the photograph.

Compsitional Trick #1 Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is a method used to arrange a good composition. It creates a focal point so that the photograph has an emphasis and does not leave the viewer wondering what the subject of the photo is. I would use the rule of thirds to create a focal point so that the photo would turn out better than not using the rule of thirds. Without using the rule of thirds, the picture would be a mere snapshot rather than a photograph.
