Four Basic Things in Photography

In music, we know of seven tones, namely C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. But in photography requires only 4 of them, namely C, D, E, and F. They are Composition, Depth of field, Exposure, and Focus.

1. COMPOSITION

Composition is the regularity of the image in a photograph. There are 3 types of composition in photography, namely Death Center, Rule of the Third, and Negative Space

…

• Death Center : Death Center is a composition in which the focus object right at the center of the image, such as: passport photo.
• Rule of Third : Rule of Third is a composition in which when an image is divided into 9 parts, 2 horizontal lines, and 2 vertical lines, the photo has 4 point of intersection called the golden point or strategic point. And the object is on the right or left of the image. More information about the Rule of the Third, Click Here!
• Negative Space :Negative Space is a composition in which the left and right rule of third divided by 2 again with the vertical line. Negative Space is placed at the far left or far right image.

2. Depth of Field

Depth of field is something that makes a photo look deep and wide. Like a blur behind object

3. Exposure

Exposure is the right combination of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO so that makes the image was not too dark or bright. Images that are too bright called Over Exposure, while the images that are too dark called Under Exposure. When the ISO is too high will cause the noise. When the shutter speed is too slow will cause motion blur. When Aperture is too large, will cause excessive depth of field. More about Exposure : Click Here!

4. Focus

Each image would require a focus so that others can easily find out the meaning of the picture. If a picture has a wrong focus, that picture is not attractive
