  1. Space/Line Assignment Dodge/Burn Exercise

  2. Space/Line Assignment • Create a sense of 3 dimensions in your print • How to direct your viewer to the subject in your print. • Find and select a line, a compositional element. • The frame of the camera is a compositional devise that begins the process of subtraction. • A single line or shape against a contrasting background attracts the eye through the photograph. • The line may also lead the eye out of the photograph if you are not careful.

  3. Seeing 3D in a 2D space • Prior to the Renaissance, drawing and painting were flat, or icons. • In the Renaissance artists developed perspective.

  4. No Perspective

  5. Renaissance-Perspective-Rafael

  6. Post-Renaissance

  7. What changed?

  8. Table size

  9. 1 Problem • Picture is upside down like a big view camera. • Camera Obscura means in Italian • Camera=room obscura=dark • First noticed by the Chinese in 4th century A.D. • Arabian scholar Alhazen described it in 10th century • Poked a hole in fabric and displayed a solar eclipse.

  10. More history • 1st Camera Obscura was a room • Shrunk later to a tent. • Shrunk later to a box • Described by Leonardo Da Vinci in his books arount 1480 • Lenses and mirrors added later.

  11. Why does this matter in Photography • We want the impression of depth in a photo. • Adds interest to the subject. • Gives the viewer more information about the subject. • Directs our eye around the composition. • Gives the photographer more creative choices.

  12. Perspective in a photo

  13. Size Comparison

  14. Exaggerated Foreground

  15. Diagonal line to vanishing point

  16. Reflection of outside elements

  17. Overlapping objects

  18. More reflection

  19. Methods to show space • Showing a diagonal line to the vanishing point • Reflections of elements outside the frame. • Overlapping forms. • Size comparison. • Bonus: an exaggerated foreground or a forced foreground will also show space.

  20. What’s this show? • Diagonal line • Size comparison • tone

  21. This? • Leading lines to the subject

  22. Use of Space-Object in foreground and background

  23. Bonus CompositionRule of Thirds • Generally, don’t place the subject of your photo in the center of the print. • The viewers eye is drawn to objects at intersecting lines within the print. • Imagine a tic-tac-toe game board. Place that over your lens and compose.

  24. Rule of Thirds

  25. More thirds

  26. Ansel Adams

  27. How to use • Where is the center of interest? • Use f stops wisely • f/16 f/22 will show lots of depth • f/2.8 f/4 will show shallow depth of field

  28. Types of lines • Lines can be divided into three groups. • Organic – lines found in nature • Manmade – lines made by humans and machines • Implied – invisible lines created by a person’s gaze. We look where they look.

  29. Man made

  30. Man made

  31. Organic

  32. Man made

  33. implied

  34. Organic

  35. Compositional rules of line • Each print has FOUR very strong lines. • The edge of the print or frame. • There is a relationship between the lines inside the photograph and the edges of the print. • These lines can work together to strengthen the image. • A vertical presentation creates a stronger image than horizontal. • It narrows the field of view.

  36. Other lines • Curved lines are graceful.

  37. Vertical-sense of strength or stature

  38. Diagonal-sense of space or motion

  39. Zig-Zag, sense of motion

  40. Use Rule of Thirds-composition • The center of interest should not be in the center.

  41. Horizon Line-don’t split • Horizon at upper line-not split 50-50

  42. Horizon at lower line

  43. Camera Angle • Look for an interesting camera angle • Shooting from eye level and horizontal will appear normal and boring • Try high or low angle

  44. Low angle
