Rule Of Third


This photo follows the rule of third. I researched the rule of third before I took my photos and I found out that the rule of third also draws the attention to the background. The rule of third also makes the photo more interesting and draws the audience in. although the photo is focusing on the white triangle building it also draws the attention to the buildings in the background.

Rule of Thirds


The rule of third is a guideline, which applies the process in composing visual images. The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guidelines and the intersection points




                                                        


These photos have not used the subject in the centre, the subject is drawed to the side so that it also shows the background and it doesnt make the subject the main focus.

What makes a photo interesting


Lighting

Do something different with the light. You can use backlighting to create silhouettes or use natural light rather than using the normal straight directed light that is used.

Angle
The angle of the photo can make a difference it can make the photo look different if you were to do an over head angle this can make the subject of the photo looks small and using an lower angle can make the subject look big and intimidating

Simplicity
If the background is very busy it can draw the attention away from the subject of the photo where as if there was a plain simple background behind the subject it can draw the attention to the subject rather than the background.
