Different types of shots• Long Shot
– The subject is shown at a relatively small scale (from far away). Emphasizes setting.
• Wide Shot– Subject takes up full frame, or most of it.
We look at whole subject, within setting.
• Mid Shot– Closer in – shows part of the subject in
detail. The photographer wants us to look closer.
• Close Up– A certain feature takes up the whole frame.
Detail or emotion is important here.

Composition: The Rule of Thirds
• The rule of thirds is the simplest rule of composition. All you do is take your frame and overlay a grid of nine equal sections. This means you split the vertical space into three parts and the horizontal space into three parts. Here's what that looks like:

Generally you want to place important elements where the
grid intersects.

3) Tips for your photographs
![Page 32: Photography: Some Basics. Subject The main object or person(s) emphasized in the photograph. –What do you want to say about your subject. –Look at Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c25f20/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Think about your shots
• Before you even lift your camera, look at your subject and think about – What you think is interesting– What you want to emphasize– How you want your image to look
(composition)
![Page 33: Photography: Some Basics. Subject The main object or person(s) emphasized in the photograph. –What do you want to say about your subject. –Look at Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c25f20/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Move around
• When you’ve chosen your subject, try moving around and seeing how it looks from various angles or perspectives.
• A shot from above, from below, from close up or far away will have very different effects.
![Page 34: Photography: Some Basics. Subject The main object or person(s) emphasized in the photograph. –What do you want to say about your subject. –Look at Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c25f20/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Take a lot of photographs!
• Shoot a lot more than you need (if you’re using digital)
• Take multiple angles and shots of the same subject… experiment!!!
• Go through what you’ve shot and pick the very best.– The more you shoot, the more options you have.– The more you practice taking good photographs, the
better you’ll get.

Don’t…
• If you’re photographing someone who’s looking out of the frame, leave space…
The viewer will follow their gaze… give them room.
![Page 36: Photography: Some Basics. Subject The main object or person(s) emphasized in the photograph. –What do you want to say about your subject. –Look at Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c25f20/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Don’t let features in the background interfere with your main subject… Look at the entire image as you’re shooting.
Be careful… don’t crop off heads, or cut off feet in a wide shot... If you are cutting something out, try to do so on purpose.
