Photo composition

snapshot or photograph?
 Snapshot-is a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time
 Photograph- image taken with care and thought

Rules of composition
Rule of thirds-imaginary lines drawn dividing both horizontally and vertically.
   Place import subjects where the lines intersect
   Place the horizon lines at the top or bottom horizontal divider 
   Fill up the entire frame with the subject for a close up image.
 Leading lines- use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewers eye through the photo.
   You can use lines to draw attention to one or more subjects or a single focal point.
Point of view-Change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position
    If you a photographing a subject that you want to seem very tall, compose the shot so that the camera    is looking upwards or vice versa.
Simplicity- tells us to keep out background time and clear of clutter.
    The mood and the effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background.
    A chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away.
