Division of Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The shutter was released immediately after focusing for this photograph. The subject and horizon are centered. Using a different division of space would improve the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Subject<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Off Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By moving the subject and horizon away from the center you get more natural proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Ratio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Golden Ratio<\/a> occurs frequently in nature. In photography this is often applied through the Rule of Thirds<\/a> in a simple but effective manner. Divide the picture plane into 3 equal pieces, both horizontally and vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rule<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rule of Thirds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a landscape, put the horizon on one of the horizontal lines. Try to put important picture elements like the sun near an intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rule<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Persons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that the eyes are roughly at 1\/3 from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rule<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This still applies if you are further away from the persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rule<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Or take a photograph of a group of persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagonal Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A more recent research on the accuracy of the Rule of Thirds<\/a> led to the discovery of the Diagonal Method<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
