Elements of Photographic Composition

These articles proved to be very helpful for me. Taking this class has already helped me learn about important aspects of photography. The kodak page helped me learn more about composition, which is placement of objects and even objects that are in the photograph. If you have to pictures with the same object in each one, but the composition of the picture is different, one picture may be more appealing. Such as the placement of the object can be right in center or more off to the side, following the rule of thirds. A picture can completely change by just changing the angle you are shooting from. I was able to talk to a wedding photographer that my girlfriend used to work for and he told me that now that he has been working on photography for so long he doesn't even have to think about the rules, it just comes naturally. He said that his customers found pictures that weren't "snapshots" more appealing, such as his pictures from different angles or even having the bride blurred out completely.
