Throughout the evolution of photography, from the most primitive light boxes to today¿s highly sophisticated consumer cameras, one thing remains the same: good composition is crucial to producing a good image, whatever the medium. There is no amount of digital trickery that can (truly) fix a badly composed photo. Given the importance of the topic, there are surprisingly few good, recent books on the subject, and much of the material found on the web tends to overcomplicate the matter. This new book breaks composition down to the simplest form, so that even the most beginner photographer will be able to learn how to take better pictures. Most importantly, the easy-to-follow, conversational writing style will ensure that the reader actually remembers what they read once they¿re behind the camera lens. Specific subject matter includes the most popular with beginner photographers, such as people, animals, nature, and travel. Aimed more at explaining the basics of composition to beginners in a creative, engaging manner, the targeted audience for Focus on Composing Photos is at a lower level than those reaching for Freeman's The Photographer's Eye. Explaining rules of composition with fun hands-on projects, this book differs from Zakia and Page's Photographic Composition: A Visual Guide, which dissects one image at a time to explain good composition.
As digital cameras and software packages become more advanced, seemingly by the minute, it has become easier than ever to overlook the basic elements which have always resulted in the best photographs, no matter how fancy (or primitive) the camera itself. Composition is the single most important aspect of creating great images, no matter what level of photographer you happen to be. No amount of digital wizardry can turn a badly composed image into a picture you would want to display. While many books on composition tend to overcomplicate the subject, this book breaks down everything you need to know into small, digestible chunks of information that you will actually remember once you're out and about taking pictures. Instead of plodding through long and complex pages of text, this book supplements the necessary information, such as the basics of the rule of thirds and how to get good highlights and shadows, with tons of gorgeous, full color images that actually show you what to do and how to do it, rather than just telling you what to try. You'll be amazed at the gorgeous images you'll create, whether your passion is for photographing your family, pets, travel adventures, nature, or anything else.
