With the true meaning of framing
in the world of photography having been explained, it's time to focus on another
sub-aspect of composition: Rule of Third.
This technique works alongside question number two. It is basically about the
placement of the main subject within the viewfinder (or picture) area, which is usually
on either the right or left side. The size of the subject also has to be at least
one-third of the frame, hence the name of this technique.
This technique is easy to use; you only need to know your theme, utilise the other
two questions and make sure to place your main subject in the one-third position
of the viewfinder frame. The four photos shown here are examples of this technique.
Another sub-aspect of composition
is using converging lines to focus attention towards the main subject. The technique
of using converging lines are found on elements like roads, corridors, bridges, alleys
or anything else that leads to a converging point.
Basically, using this technique is to simply lead the viewer's attention in the pictures
right to where the main subject is located. Visualise this scene; if you are standing
on the divider of a major road, look ahead and see what type of buildings or sights
that your eyes will lead you to when you follow the direction of the road.
