Photography For Beginners

Vertical lines come right after horizontal lines in importance and that’s for a single reason – the way our eyes view an image. Our eyes scan a photo from left to right horizontally and will pick up horizontal lines first, and because of this, vertical lines are excellent at complimenting horizontal lines with their perpendicular, stopping nature when they intersect. This is a great technique to adding tension into a photo.

Horizontal lines are in everything we see and are at the base of every composition. Even photos with no straight lines in them are bound by the horizontal or vertical frame that they’re contained in. It’s important to understand the affect that a horizontal line has on a photo because then you’ll better understand how to use it effectively.

This rather long post is a complete definitive guide as to how to work a corporate event and get repeat business.

Autofocus is often not the most reliable tool for focusing when the subject is at the side of the frame. Focal lock is built into all modern digital cameras as a way of correcting that; it allows you to select what you want to focus on by pointing at it and then moving your camera back to how you had it composed previously.
