Composition Review Shoot and Posting Directions

Overview: After you post your review of the Composition Rules, you will go out for a shoot to practice your skills.

Directions:

With a partner, you will check out a camera and do your best to shoot all 10 composition rules in about 1 hour. Your partner will be your subject in your photo if you need one.

If you can't remember the 10 rules, write them down before you leave on your shoot.

Here they are, again:

1. Rule of thirds
2. Balancing Elements
3. Leading Lines
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)
5. Viewpoint
6. Background
7. Create depth
8. Framing
9. Cropping (Filling the frame)
10. Mergers (on purpose or by mistake).

Posting your work: When you are done shooting, it's time to post your work. Post one photo that exemplifies each of the Composition Rules listed above.

Make a new blog post: Title it "Composition Review Shoot" and add a label for each Rule of Composition on top of each of the photos that you post.
