3.1 Interior
This is a picture of my living room which clearly goes under the element of interior. It follows the rule of background as the colour of the walls are a bit simple and light in colour, thus the final image, which in this case is the long sofa set, does NOT lack impact because the subject does not blends into a busy background. Hence, I chose a plain and unobstructive background so that my viewers can distinguish between different elements in this scene. :D
3.2 Portrait! (:
- Myself; picture taken at Changi Airport
This is a portrait of myself taken when I was 10 years old (just for your information hahahahh). As mentioned earlier, this photo goes under the element of portrait as this portrait photography is capturing a subject, which in this case a person (me!) and a dazzling cute deer behind! The aim was to give emphasis on the face of the person because this will also be the focus or the emphasis of the photograph. This does not mean, however, that my body or the background will no longer be included, which is the deer decoration and the Christmas tree balls and stuff...:P
Anyway, I have used the composition rules of cropping for this picture as I removed some unwanted parts of the photo. Before I cropped my picture, there were some other people in my picture; also taking some photographs of themselves with the gigantic and splendid Christmas tree. Of course, I didn't want any other strangers to be in my picture and hence I have cropped it out, to get a close-up shot of myself and and and!!! The cute little deer behind meee!!! ^~^
3.3 Landscape (:
This is a picture taken by me when I was overseas at Phuket, Thailand. As you can see for this picture, it clearly falls under the element of landscape. In this picture, I used the composition rules of experimentation. Settings are a guideline for me, but every time I go out and shoot, I always experiment with different variations of those settings. Try a few shots at a faster shutter speed or wider aperture, just to see what happens. Play with the white balance. Set it something that doesn't even fit the situation you’re in. You might just discover a new way to get interesting colors where there previously were none. ^_^
3.4 Architecture (:
- Mosque; picture taken at Malaysia
This goes under the element of architecture and shows a big mosque at Malaysia. This picture follows the composition rules of leading lines. The pathway or roadway towards the mosque guides the viewers' eyes through the frame. The leading line paves an easy path for the eye to follow through different elements of this photo. Usually we start at the bottom of the frame and guide the eye upwards and inwards, from the foreground of the image to the background, typically leading toward the main subject, which is the mosque in the picture. :PP
3.5 Action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:
- Swimming at Sunway Lagoon; Malaysia
This is a picture of my siblings and I when we were younger. It was taken when we went for our holidays in Malaysia, Sunway Lagoon Resort to be exact. It was a water theme park actually (: We were swimming together and thus it is an action. We were also posing for the camera! In this picture, I used the composition rules of symmetry and patterns. Patterns, both natural and man-made, bring a sense of visual rhythm and harmony to photographs that, like a series of repeating notes in a melody, capture the imagination; like the slides in the swimming pool as shown below. Patterns appear whenever strong graphic elements—lines, colors, shapes, or forms—repeat themselves.
3.7 Flowers
- Vanda Miss Joaquim; picture taken at Singapore Botanical Garden
This is a picture of a flower taken when I went to the Singapore Botanical Garden. I used the composition rules of viewpoint. When selecting my viewpoint, the position from which I photograph the subject, is a very important part of composition and one that some people pay very little attention to. This type of shot is very useful for separating the Vanda Miss Joaquim from the background, for eliminating unwanted foreground and background, and for creating the illusion of greater size and speed.
3.8 Bird
- Peacock; taken at Sentosa
This is a picture of one of the elements, birds. For this picture, I used the composition rules of rule of thirds. Sometimes good composition is obtained by placing the center of interest in the geometrical center of the picture; it is generally not a good idea to place it there. Too frequently it divides the picture into equal halves and makes the picture uninteresting and difficult to balance. By dividing the picture area into thirds, both vertically and horizontally, and locating the center of interest at one of the intersections of the imaginary lines, I can usually create a feeling of balance to the composition of this peacock.
3.8 Animals
- Crab; picture taken at Sembawang beach
This is a picture of a crab that I myself was HOLDING it with my bare hands at Sembawang beach. Apparently both my dad and my younger brother love fishing for crabs there using big nets and then scaring the rest of us with these scary-looking crabs. However, fortunately I dared and was brave enough to hold it on my own but it was like "YUCKSSS!!!"
Ok so, in this picture I used the composition rules of cropping. When I took my very first shot and I viewed back the picture, I immediately told myself that that picture needs some cropping to be done! This was because before I had cropped the picture, there were litters and plastic bottles lying around the shore, and thus distracting the main subject which is the CRAB!!! Ahhh ewww yikes!!! Yeah but still...I cropped it though...:/
3.8 Insects
This is a picture of one of the elements, insects. In this picture, I used the composition rules of rule of thirds. It's a butterfly by the way. In the rule of thirds, this photo was divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two lines horizontally making three columns, three rows, and nine sections in the images. Important compositional elements and leading lines are placed on or near the imaginary lines and where the lines intersect. :BB
