School of life part 13 : Photograph part 1 Composing your Photo

Photograph are not defined from your gear, every photo is photograph. Even with your camera, Blackberry, Compact digital camera or Digital SLR. This is an art, and your imagination is a concept. There is satisfaction when you can capture golden moment, wonderful scenery, beautiful face, if you have such feeling and this is your hobby :D. I'm start with composing your photo.
Focus
Most photograph needs a focus, subject(s) you like to photo.
Most interest part your eye sees is the blossom tulip in the pond.
Rule of Thirds
Foreground, object and background are 3 things human eyes sees naturally. Divided a picture into three parts (imaginary lines) both vertically and horizontally. This makes your picture more alive. Usually dominant object (you decide what dominant) takes two thirds of the pics.

One thirds bottom is the grass represent foreground, the chapel in the middle and the sky+mountains take three thirds left. Diagonal lines also add interest to the photo.
Depth of Field
DoF shows how much focus (blur) in your pictures, why do you want some blur?
Usually portrait (human or object) use less depth of fields. And Landscape photo use more Depth of Fields.

The duck are less DoF (sharp on object) and the River Depth of Fields are more depth (sharp on foreground and background).
