RE: MY OBSESSION WITH SYMMETRY

in #photography7 years ago

Hello, my friend. My turn! So much sand. So much sea. So much sky. I am amazed at the endlessness of each element in your photo. The clouds disturb the almost perfect bands of color, bringing interest to the image. Since you enjoy my images so much, I'll share three things I was taught during my photography.

First, the rule of thirds, which involves imagining a grid of 9 squares to help you place subjects in certain areas to strengthen the composition. Wiki.

The second is the Fibonacci sequence. The rule of thirds is a simplification of the more complex concept that draws on a mathematical ratio found everywhere in nature and even considered divine. This ratio can help you create compositions that please the human eye and mind. Article

The third will satisfy your obsession for order - Make sure your horizons are level. Viewer's minds are disturbed by horizontal lines that are just barely askew by accident. Do your best to achieve this in the camera then fix it in your software...

I realize that I rarely think of the first two when taking photos. My method of composing has become natural to me. I often forget the third!
