  1. Evaluating Digital Images

  2. Evaluating Digital Images • Find at least one two images

  3. Evaluating Digital ImagingWrite about the following: • Purpose and audience • Composition • Rule of Thirds • Leading lines • Clutter • Golden Ratio (1:1.6 – rectangle) • Use of colour • Nature of Message (Subtle or obvious) • Effectiveness

  4. Rule of Thirds Place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced, interesting and dynamic. Studies have shown that when viewing images that people’s eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the centre of the shot The bee’s eye becomes the point of focus The subject off centre

  5. Dividing into sections We can divide the image into two distinctive areas which cover 1:3 and 2:3 of the size of the picture.

  6. Based on the crossing points This object is an anchor for the first look and invites to a further explore the scene. The object is placed on one of the four points.

  7. Portraits In this image the head has been purposely placed on one of the intersecting points - especially his eyes which are a natural point of focus for a portrait. His tie and flower also take up a secondary point of interest.

  8. A more interesting picture… The main objects of interest are off centre. Allowing 2/3 of the picture to set the scene and add interest.

  9. Landscapes A good technique for landscape shots is to position horizons along one of the horizontal lines.

  10. Verticals Just as it's usually best to place horizons off centre, it's also best to place verticals off centre. For instance, in the picture on the left, the subject is centered, but on the right, the photographer got a more effective photograph by simply changing the viewpoint.

  11. Rule of Thirds • What are the points of interest in this shot? • Where am I intentionally placing them? Remember that breaking the rule can result in some striking shots!

  12. This is used to lure the eye deeper into a picture or to an important subject.  Straight, curved, parallel, or diagonal lines are all good at promoting interest.  Good examples could be roads, rivers, streams, bridges, branches, or fences but there are endless things that could be used. Leading lines You should always consider the path of moving subjects and, generally, leave space in front of them into which they can move.

  13. Avoiding distracting backgrounds

  14. When taking pictures of landscapes, include an object, such as a tree, in the foreground. Including objects in the foreground Sometimes you can use the foreground elements to "frame" your subject. Overhanging tree branches, a doorway, or an arch can give a picture the depth it needs to make it more than just another snapshot.

  15. Add heart and emotion to your pictures.  Certain colour configurations can inspire awe and amazement in onlookers.  Colours can be used to add all sorts of accents and effects, but you must be careful to not draw attention away from the main subject. Use of Colour

  16. If your main subject is close, then your background should be very simple to avoid distractions.  You should try to keep everything not important much less interesting than what's important in the frame.  Especially avoid lines or objects that lead the eye away from the subject. Simplicity

  17. Things to think about: • What is the purpose and audience? • What sort of digital images are you going to use? • What is the colour scheme? • Think about the composition of the images. • You will be asked to discuss your e-mag composition with the rest of the class?
