The Rule of Thirds:
Today let us discuss something more about photography. As we all know it is an art involving, lens, light and creativity with laid on rules like the rule of thirds. This primary rule is used to increase prominence of the object, subject the photographer wants to show and overall it adds to the story of the image.

Definition: The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.

Rule of Thirds
 Using the rule of thirds means that the subject isn't cantered in the image, which is how many new photographers frame their shots. Instead, the main focal point is a bit off to one side. ... Using the rule of thirds draws the viewer's eye into the composition, instead of just glancing at the center.

One of the fundamentals of painting and photography, the Rule of Thirds is a technique designed to help artists and photographers build drama and interest in a piece. The rule states that a piece should be divided into nine squares of equal size, with two horizontal lines intersecting two vertical lines.

The Rule of Thirds is actually a guideline more than a rule. It is intended to help the artist with the placement of the elements and focal point within the composition. But, if you want your viewer to ignore the other parts of your painting, then go ahead break a rule (only after understanding it.. !!) and center your subject like a big bull's-eye!

Photography is an art to reproduce images using lenses and light but actually it’s more than this; it is exploring ones imagination & creativity to unveil nature, wildlife, monuments and mood in a unique way unseen by any other person. We, T he P hotography B uddies have come together with the very inspiration to explore the beauty and present it to decorate your living rooms, bedrooms, offices, cabins and give more meaning to the places where you all spend most of our time. We, # T he P hotography B uddies , have started our photography journey couple of years back learning the tricks and techniques of this beautiful art.   This year we are launching our images in – ‘ Almanac 2018’, a yearly calendar.  We will shortly be introducing photo frames, digital presentations etc. Hope you will welcome this venture whole heartedly and give us a hand to take our skills to the next level.

What is White Balance in Photography? White Balance  is the camera setting that adjusts how colors are rendered in an image. A  white balance setting has a numerical value, (Kelvin temperature) however more commonly  white balance  presets are used which denote their ideal lighting, such as daylight, cloudy, flash, or various indoor lighting scenarios. What is the white balance setting in a camera? The  White Balance  setting you choose will change the colour  balance  in your pictures, making it warmer or cooler depending on how the sort of light you're shooting in affects things. Using  Auto White Balance  is the simple option, but your camera’s White Balance  presets give you more control over colour. How do you do a white balance? There should be a "white balance" button or switch on your camera. 1.     If your camera has a filter wheel (or if you use add-on filters), make sure you are using...

What is an Aperture? In the earlier blogs while discussing Rule of Thirds, or Night Photography we all have come across a few new words like Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO. Out of these today we are going to discuss about Aperture. Aperture in very common term is a hole. As a size of hole differs so does the visibility of objects, in Optics/Photography it plays a similar role of Depth of Field. It is denoted by an f no. eg. F 1.8, 2.8, 4.5, 5.6, 7, 10, 13, 16, 22, 32 etc. smaller the number bigger the hole. The best example of an aperture is the pupil of our eye. Definition: In optics, an  aperture  is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the  aperture  and focal length of an optical system determine the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. What is an F/F-Stop Number? The  f -number of an optical system such as a camera lens is the ratio of the sys...
