This type of composition works best when shot with a long lens set to a wide aperture. If it contains relevant content it can provide a “sense of place” for the subject. However, a background doesn’t always have to be overly dark (or black) to allow the subject to shine. Backgrounds with relevant content Single late tulips appear amid a cluttered, but not overly distracting background. Shot against a darkened background, the white tulips above take center-stage with zero distractions. The only thing you’ll remember about that scene will be the fight.
KEEPING COMPOSURE MOVIE
Imagine watching a movie scene where the main character is delivering a pivotal line of dialog and a totally unrelated fight breaks out in the background. Just like a good supporting cast, a good background should not overshadow or distract from it. The background is one of the things that can make or break a photo. Simplified backgrounds These tulips have a plain background. With three distinct areas of interest, a two-dimensional photograph exhibits an almost three-dimensional quality. The cherry trees, flowers and rock make up the foreground, followed by the three individuals on the winding pathway in the middle ground – leading your eye to the sun rising in the rear. The opening photo of a sunrise in the New York Botanical Garden is a prime example. One of the most common types of photo compositions is the inclusion of a foreground (sometimes middle ground) and a background. In the past, I’ve often composed a photo in a certain way simply because it looked good, only to discover later that it’s an actual technique. Actually, you may be using many of these techniques without even knowing it. In this first installment, I’ll be discussing some of the more common methods.
KEEPING COMPOSURE SERIES
So many, in fact, that this article will be the first in a series of three, which I will be releasing in the coming months. Numerous techniques (some very subtle in nature) can be employed in the creation of a creative composition. While these elements are probably the most common ways to compose a photograph, they are by no means the only ways. Although, at times, certain situations may make it hard for you to properly compose yourself, you always have total control over how you compose your photographs.īefore I began my research for this article, I used to think that the totality of image composition merely involved the Rule of Thirds and/or the inclusion of a foreground, middle ground, and background. The toilet paper shortage alone could easily have caused even the calmest of individuals to lose their composure. Assaulted by a non-stop barrage of civil unrest, lifestyle changes, political uncertainty, economic hardships, and devastating heartaches, it was year none of us will soon forget – no matter how hard we may try! It was a struggle just to maintain one’s sanity in the midst of such utter chaos. Well, 2020 is finally in the rear-view mirror.
This is a typical composition of foreground, middle ground and background.
