# 1 - LEADING LINES
The “leading lines” rule is a technique that uses lines within the photo to lead attention to your subject.
Here are a few items that can be leading lines in photography:
Roads, highways, paths, pathways, steps, stairways, rails, railings,trees, branches, sticks, walls, fences, shorelines, rivers, arms, legs, buildings, windows, doors, anything that creates a line.
There are three ways to apply this rule to create interesting compositions:
1. The first technique is to use lines to guide your viewer's eyes to the subject. The lines create a path directly to your subject.
2. The second technique uses lines to guide your viewer's eyes on a journey into the photograph.
3. The third technique is to use the lines to create an interesting design. The lines are the main. In this manner the photograph becomes fine art

The Framing Rule is a technique to bring focus to the subject of the photograph using a frame. You use elements within the scene to frame the subject.
There are 4 different framing techniques.
1. Use a literal frame, such as a mirror or empty picture frame.
2. Use architecture - fences, railings, buildings, window or door frame.
3. Use nature - trees, fields of flowers, branches, rocks, etc.
4. Use areas of high contrast light and dark.
ASSIGNMENT:
Create a minimum of 5 images using framing. Get creative!!!!
We will practice using manual mode.
If you are outside in bright sunlight, set your shutter to a minimum of 1/125 your aperture at f8, ISO to 100. You may need to adjust one of these depending on your lighting conditions.
