is Photography Composition Important to You?

All friends...

In every time i've seen other people photo, deeply looking in every detail, lighting, exposure, composition... quality, etc. what photo make you're interest? am i or you or us, already understand and knows about "Composition" on the photo while we made a scenario in our mind then looking into the view finder?

if you become a jury on photo contest, what could be the judgment?

Regards,

1. Read some books and online tutorials about composition. Grab the knowledge.
2. Practice makes perfect. Shoot more and feel the difference between various angles and composition methods of the same scene or object.
3. Try to be innovative. There is no work-for-all rule in it.

Hope that can help ~; ▶ Reply to This

I have got some fantastic shots just by being in the right place at the right time. I shooting a photo with good compostion a good rule of thumb is to try to capture what you are trying to relate to those who view your photos.; ▶ Reply to This
