Rule of Thirds



This is the photograph of a cat with the rule of thirds, the cat has been placed to the left of the image along with the imaginary three lines to create the interest of the photograph. This photograph of the cathedral is using the Rule of Thirds by aligning one of the vertical lines with the building on the right.

Viewpoint


This is a bird's eye viewpoint of Bath, it creates interest because the person who sees the image will see the whole of the city and how big it is. Unfortunately i do not have my own example of a Viewpoint.

Depth of Field



This St. Bernard can be seen clearly while the background behind him is blurry, because it is called Depth of Field. The photographer did this, because wants to make the dog the point of interest in the photo and not the mountains. The same can be said about the flower I took.

Symmetry

This photo of the Taj Mahal is interesting, because both sides of the marble building are symmetrical. But also the line in the water leads up to the building. Now what made the photo of this part of the Roman architecture symmetrical was the ram's head and wreaths.

Composition

The composition in this image is balanced out by the rocks in the arch and the mountains in the distance behind them, so that it makes the audience lookout into the distance in this picture. So does the leaves and the lamp post to make the audience focus on the Royal Crescent.
