Compositional Trick #3 Macro

Macro is GREAT to use to campture little but beautiful details. Macro requires you to get very very close to your emphasis. It captures your main subject and blurs out the further things in the picture. You can use it to capture one part of something or you can use it to capture the texture of something.

Compositional Trick #2 Leading Lines

Leading Lines are objects or shadows in the picture that lead the eye to your main emphasis. The Leading Lines bring you into the picture and around the picture. If the photograph does not have a main emphasis the leading lines can still pull you deeply into the picture. They also make the emphasis seem alot stronger.

Compositional Trick #1 Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds is a method used to separate a snapshot from a photograph. Your emphasis should be on a point of a tick-tack-toe grid on your picture. It makes the picture look more interesting and lets you notice other things in the picture.. If your emphasis is right in the middle thats all you see and you dont notice other details. By using the rule of thirs in a picture you tend to look at the whole picture longer because if the subject is in the middle you just stare at that and eventually get bored looking at it.
