Composition and its Laws

 So what is composition? Composition is what guides our eyes through a photograph and gives importance to the subject with the rest of the photo. Composition through flow, direction, and visual balance, helps drive the story behind your image and grabs your viewer’s attention.

The better the composition, the more attractive and eye-catching it becomes.


So, there will are certain composition laws and tips you can use to make your photo more attractive.


The Rule of thirds:

When everyone first starts, They have a natural tendency to put the subject in the dead middle. Well, that isn't always the best.

The rule of thirds suggests dividing the image into a 3x3 with equal-sized squares, and to place the subject in any of the four intersecting lines.





Center Composition:

The second law is the Centered composition. We all know that photography is an art form, and like all other art forms, it has its exceptions. This law suggests keeping the image straight and simple. And like the name suggests, place the subject dead center. This type is not always good in all environments but makes sure to be careful and check all your options before doing this.








Don't Cut Off Limbs

Keep an eye on the edges of your frame to make sure your subject you're photographing hasn't had any of their body parts chopped off by it. Cutting off your cat's tail, your dog's ears, or even part of your model's head, will not only spoil your shot, but the unintentional limb chopping can also pull attention away from what the viewer should be looking at. Of course, there are times when this rule can be ignored but for the most part, pay attention to it.

Yesterday, it suddenly struck me that there are many other kids (elder's too..?) who wanted to learn about photography but never had the time. So I decided to put my learnings in a blog so that we all can, maybe, learn together through this blog...what say??! 😁😁 So without any further ado, let's dive right into it! ISO First up, we have ISO. ISO controls the sensitivity of the lens in your camera, and it's brightness. Now, people would start saying, "Oh hey! That means I am gonna bump my ISO up, to make the image as bright as possible." well, actually, you want the opposite of this, you want to keep your ISO as low as possible because when you bump your ISO up, the noise in the image also increases making your image look pretty ...

DSLR vs Mirrorless

Hey there! I know, you don't have to tell me, it's been a while... But don't worry! I'm back! Today, I have decided to write about a spicy topic... It's on every photographer's mind, with a lot of professionals having a lot of different views, it makes the topic worth looking out for. That's right, it's "Which camera type is better? DSLR? Mirrorless?"  Before jumping to conclusions about the better one, we need to first get an understanding of the two. Let's take a look... First of all, what does DSLR stand for? DSLR stands for Digital Single-Lens Reflex What on Earth is a DSLR? You must have noticed, every time a photo is clicked, the viewfinder goes dark for a short time, making a "click" sound. Ever thought about why this happens? Well, this happens only in SLRs and DSLRs. SLRs are nothing but older and outdated versions of a DSLR. Nothing important... Before understanding what a DSLR is, we need to have basic knowledge of the ...
