Photography 101: Composition - The Basics of Photography | B&H Event Space

One of the key elements to creating impactful images is knowing the principles of photography composition. Sony Artisan of Imagery Tony Gale returns for part 3 of our Basics of Photography series to discuss how composition plays into the overall appeal of a photo. From portraits to still life to landscape, we will talk about some common techniques for placement within the frame, such as the rule of thirds and leading lines.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@hurleygreen927]

Nice video...were you shooting in Manual or Aperture Priority mode?

[@charliejg]

Watching the recording of this. Thanks for the information. Question: I did some shooting looking up trees yesterday morning because I was trying to get some perspective on the size of the trees. The only thing I was trying to figure out is what to do so the sky isn't blown out too much. Thanks!!!

[@sebastianflint1237]

Either bracketing the shots or just have the trees as silhouettes and expose for the sky.
