Composition

Wednesday/Thursday, we will discuss the effective use of focal length to control the apparent space between objects. We will also disucuss composition. To follow up on that, I would like you to read the following over the weekend.

The Art of Black and White Photography: Techniques for Creating Superb Images in a Digital Workflow, read Part III: Rules of Composition. The whole thing.

A really great Kodak presentation on photo composition made in the late 1970s. I love this presentation. I have it on slide and audio cassette; easier to show this way.

Kodak Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition - this is an old Kodak guide to photo composition that someone scanned and transcribed. The images still hold up. It is a newer version of the other presentation.

Kodak Guide to Better Pictures: Composition - simplistic, but there is still some good information and images here.
