AtoZ Challenge: PH – C: Composition

C for Composition

In photography, composition means placement of subjects in a manner that makes the photo speak up. The common techniques being –
1. Rule of Thirds: Dividing the entire frame in 3×3 boxes, we keep the important subjects lined on the lines or the intersections. More, here!

Leading Lines: Lines, single or parallel, straight or curved, which lead the view of the observer from one part of the photo to the next.

Leaving space: The subject should have some space to look, ride, fly, etc. into, within the frame.

Break the rules, and shoot the way that makes you feel content!

AtoZ Challenge: PH – B: Bokeh

B for Bokeh

Japanese origin word for blur in the background of a photo. Used widely as an aesthetics tool in the photograph to give it a dreamy smooth out-of-focus background. With decrease of the Aperture number, the bokeh effect becomes more distinct and profound. The shapes formed in the bokeh of light sources, varies on the number of blades within the lens. Bokeh can be used creatively by use of filters to produce specific shapes in the photo.

Some Bokeh shots here. For information on aperture, check here. And for the use of filters, check here.

AtoZ Challenge: PH – A: Aperture

A for Aperture.

Aperture is the slit through which light reaches the sensor of the camera. It is part of the lens and is represented by F Number. Bigger the F number, smaller the aperture and lesser light enters the camera. Increasing the F number is known as “stepping down” the aperture. The two effects of changing the aperture are, changing the amount of light that enters through, and the amount of the picture that remains in sharp focus. With smaller aperture values, more area is blurred. Often, lens have a sharp sweet spot, based on the aperture.
