camera techniques

The Rule of Thirds

             I think this camera technique is important because it help make the picture look better. Two things I learned is that when you take a picture instead of putting the main thing in the middle of the picture you can put it to the right or left to make it look better. The part I like the best is when he moves the camera to the right to make the picture look better.

 Fill the Frame  

          I think this camera technique is important because when you take a picture of a small object, there tends to be a lot of space left, which can be distracting, however when taking the picture closer to the object, it leaves less space, allowing people to focus on the object and not the left over space. Something I learned, was that a very common mistake people make when taking pictures, is taking a picture from too far away.  Another thing I learned was that the closer you get to the picture, the clearer the tiny details get. 

Framing  

          I think this camera technique is important because it adds more detail. and helps the main focus of the picture stand out. One thing that I learned was that there doesnt have to be full frames on a picture, there can just be "partial frames". However, what confused me was how to know when should you use a partial frame.

Point of View 

       I think this camera technique is important because a picture could look horrible from one angle, but great from a different angle.  I learned how different something can look just by angling the camera differently. I also learned that there are many different ways to angle the camera, which leaves you many different forms of a picture, of the same object.  

 

Level Horizon 

            I think this technique is important, because if the camera is not level, your photo can be crooked. You can have the perfect picture...except its just a little sideways! I learned that there is a "function" button on some cameras, and it can help you level your photo
