Here is one additional technique called Composition Stacking. You simply combine several composition techniques in the same photo. For example, say you start with the rule of thirds, then you add leading lines, then framing and foreground interest and depth, etc. Perhaps you probably do this already. Check out this link from the SLR Lounge for more details.


Here is your assignment:


1. Create a 12 row by 5 column grid like the one below. Label each column as follows:


  • Write the name of composition technique

  • Insert an internet photo showing the technique

  • Paste your first photo showing the technique

  • Paste your second photo showing the technique

  • Paste your third photo showing the technique
