14. How to implement this rule
Train your eye to see
Get closer to your subject
Move your position
If possible move
distracting elements
Position your camera
20. Using lines to improve your photos
Before shooting look for any lines
that you can use paths, roads,
fences, tree lines, rivers, etc...
Get further away from your subject
to use lines
Position your camera differently
Change your position/viewpoint
Try to compose your shot so that
your lines start in the corner of
photos.
23. Adding frames to your photos
Before shooting look around for
anything that could be used to frame
your subject
Get further away/ Change your
perspective/ Camera viewpoint
Be creative!
25. Achieving balance
Balance is totally subjective
Think ahead before you take the
shot
When shooting reflections crop
people and keep reflections full
28. Having fun with mergers
Train your eye to see
Mergers are a bigger
distraction when they
occur with someone’s
head
You can always avoid a
merger by repositioning
yourself
29. Border Mergers
There is another type of
merger, called “border
merger,” in which part of
the subjects body is
missing.
