during the period that i was taking these photos using different compositional tricks, my favorite compositional trick is the macro shots they are fun and you can see certain things that you wouldn't see in a regular picture. it allows you to see the texture on the sap more clear making it look like something from out of this world.

Compositional Trick #8 fill in flash

fill in flash affects photos by giving them light when there is not enough light on your subject so it wont be so dark.

Compositional Trick #7 drawing with light

drawing with light seperates you photos from others because your using the light and shadows around you to get a more deep pitcher.

Compositional Trick #6 framing

framing is about getting you subject in a frame so it attracts you eyes from looking in different places.

the framing in my photo is the trees making a frame around the rock it helps my subject pop out more.

Compositional Trick #5 extreme angles

extreme angles is a good trick to know because you take pitchers from a different angle, so you see things you haven't seen before.

Compositional Trick #4 simplicity

This trick is called simplicity the key was to get a simple subject without a busy background, like i did with the flag simple subject without a busy background.

Compositional Trick #4 simplicity

creating simplicity in a photo makes it more simple and in some cases more strong and powerfull. just by putting one thing in my photo it makes it strong, i chose these pitchers because to me they ment something.

Compositional Trick #3 macro

macro is a tool that allows you to get really close to images with out it blurring out and distorting the image, so you can see fine details in the pitcher that you can see with normal camera mode..

compositional trick #2 Leading Lines

With leading lines you try to get lines that lead you up to the main subject in the pitcher......

Compositional Trick #1 Rule Of Thirds

Rule of thirds is a grid and you try to get the main subject in the grid lines witch would be in a corner of the screen, this makes the pitcher seam less boring and more exciting!!!!
