Asymmetric composition.
--Devil in middle, across spine of book, balanced by men otherwise oriented:
-----back of man on back cover,
-----man upside-down on front cover.
----the man on the back is higher on the page, head up, contrasting to man head down, trunk on lower half of pae.
---There's more white space on the left/back side--the front of the book really is heavier due to more antlers, more details (man's face, more of devil's body, Does that work because the front of a book is in some sense more important, will be more seen?
This photo uses all the basic techniques of photography that we have learned so far. The first technique would be Rule of Thirds because the focus of the picture is placed on one of the lines in the RoT 3x3 grid. The next is the used of natural lighting from the sun, it brightens the photo and enhances the outline of the puppy. An implied curved line is also found by the setting of the bricks, which we assume would surround the circumference of the tree. Shallow depth of field is used to keep focus on the puppy instead of the yard in the background. A quicker shutter speed of 1/250 was needed to capture the puppy in a still frame.
Rule of thirds
for rule of thirds, i put my model on the left side of the frame. then with the horizon, i put it on the bottom. I really wanted the main focal point to be her and the scarf. the editing i did was to make the scarf the most brightest and then when you look above, you would see her.
I'm returning to the self-imposed limits of drawing within a box. It helps me to focus and aids the process of composing when the edges of the box let you form negative shapes.
By placing the subject matter within the center of the shot, I was able to take advantage of the rule of thirds and really place the main focus on the butterfly and its flora perch. With a faster setting on my shutter speed, I was also able to capture the instant the butterfly moved its wing, revealing the bright oranges and blues otherwise covered up.
