Compose A Frame

The Rule of Thirds

The Diagonal Rule

Vectors

 

I took this photo outside of our classroom because of the great diagonals inside that hallway. Standing directly in the middle of the hall I was able to get an action shot near the elevator. These people are in the rule of thirds corner of the center box. The diagonals of the architecture and vanishing point create dramatic mood in the framing of the photo. There are many vectors in this image, like the ceiling tiles, there also is an implied motion vector created by the leaning leg of one of the people in the frame.

I edited the second image using a free Mac program called Paint 2.

• Green lines are Rule of Three
• Red lines are Diagonals
• White line is an implied motion Vector
