Object Positioning

Dear Viewers and Fellow Photographers,

Object Positioning. It is a concept many common people are aware of, and it is pretty self explanatory however it is a skill that many photographers are born with. However, if you weren't born with it, don't worry about it... you have probably already mastered the skill. The main places you can position the objects are as follows:




(P.S: All the photos used on this Blog are produced by me, unless a link is displayed below)

The red crosses shown above are positions where the object is usually placed and focused when taking a photo. These are just some of the usual ones, however there can be other ones, like this:



You can see the yellow crosses as where you could place the object you are trying to capture, or if you are trying to capture a background, then use a higher F-Point and use one of the yellow crosses to focus on it too.

Object Positioning is a very useful and a very basic technique used for good photographs. You can use this techniques to arise many emotions if you use lighting; you can use shadows and make the object on the left of the photograph and this will mean long shadows can be created on the other side. Also, you can use the sun to create a very dramatic effect:



The picture above has been taken by a skilled photographer. Observe the photo carefully, and then you arouse many different feelings in you, a very touching shot. The main object in this photo are the rock stumps, I guess at Lands End in Cornwall, UK. The larger rock, the absolute focus of the picture, shades the sun half way, creating lovely, sharp rays of natural light, which goes perfectly well with the soft rays next to it.

Object Positioning is a very useful technique that you can use whenever, and although you use it almost every time you take a photo, to know the details and why it is works well.

Yours truly,
Snapography.
