Here are some pictures from our last photo assignment in Pucon. The assignment was to try and get an example of the different rules used in photography. Some of the rules we used were; Rules of Thirds which is one of the most popular ‘rules’ in photography. It works like these imaginary lines are drawn dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. You place important elements of your composition where these lines intersect. The human eye is naturally drawn to those lines.
Another technique we used was the Golden Spiral Rule where there should be something leading the eye to the center of the composition.
We also used the Golden Triangle Rule; it’s more convenient for photos with diagonal lines. By drawing a line from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner with a line drawn perpendicular making 3 triangles.
