Compositional Trick #3 Macro



Using Compositional Trick #3 "Macro", it is handy for a photographer to know how to use, because it helps grasp emphasis. Also draw more emphasis on one subject than another that might also be in the view of the picture, without taking from the actual subject.

Compositional Trick #2 Leading Lines

When using Leading Lines in a photo the lines are used to add emphasis to the object or focus. The lines are also used almost as a guide that lead the viewer in to the main focus.

Compostional Trick #1 Rule of Thirds

Instead of taking your average snapshot of your emphasis or object in the center when using Rule of Thirds one will see a "tic tac toe" grid show up and utilize the grid so that the emphasis is not centered but placed on one of the corners. If this has been done successfully the emphasis should be located not in the center of the picture but almost in the corner.
