and shape.

30. 3. Must have a
nose for drama,
oddity, rarity,
action and for
human interest
stories.

31. 4. Must be
acquainted with the
important as well as
with the notorious

into the news often.

32. 5. Must have
diplomacy and tact
when covering risky

33. 6. Must be
acquainted with the

pictures of prominent
personalities attract to
the interest of readers.

37. 2. Action
“Action speaks louder than
words”

40. 5. Timeliness

41. PLACING SUBJECTS IN THE RIGHT A

44. The ancient Greeks discovered the pleasing effect of
objects with a rectangular shape. When a picture is
divided into thirds, it is often most powerful if the
focus of attention is in the intersection of two of the
perpendicular lines.

45. Depth of Field
refers to the area
of a photograph,
in front of (
foreground)
or behind
(background) the
point of focus,
that is considered
acceptably sharp.
DEPTH OF FIELD

46. The sharpest part
of the image
should be the
point of interest,
so focus must be
taken cared of. If
something other
than the main
subject is the
sharpest part of
the composition,
the viewer’s eye
will rest in the
wrong place.
Focus

47. Perspective refers to the relative size
and depth of subjects within a picture.
When the field of view is wide (image
below) the perspective becomes more
apparent because it is stretched.
Perspective

48. Pattern
There are patterns all around us if we
only learn to see them. Emphasizing

lead to striking shots – as can high
lighting when patterns are broken.

dimensional
thing yet with
the clever use
of ‘texture’
they can
come alive
and become
almost three
dimensional.

50. Leading Lines/Lines
Lines can be
powerful elements
in an image.
They have the
power to draw the
eye to key focal
points in a shot
and to impact the
‘feel’ of an image
greatly.

51. Juxtaposition
An act or instance of placing close together or side
by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
