The Postitioning and Placement of a Picture

The angle and place where you take a picture is about 80% of what makes a picture good, so do this well if u want a good picture!
Different things you should think about while taking a picture is: how do you want X to relate to Y? Is this more of a 'text-book' picture or more artsy? Do you want to capture the mere detail and texture of X? What is the angle and positioning of the picture?

* Do you want to show the comparison between two parts of the picture? In the picture above, you can just imagine, how could a person possibly throw a pair of sneakers and make them land on that wire? (if you can't see the picture too well, click on it and it will b bigger).

* Do you want to show the texture of the clouds in the background and the way the sneakers are positioned? This shows the main characteristics of the main object.

* Another relation picture, this relates the sneakers to the house, it doesn't necessarily have to be compared to the ground to show the height of the main object. This style of positioning is my favorite, it is just the right amount of close-up and it shows an interesting relation.

This would be a typical picture you could see in your textbook while you're doing a reading on California and taking notes for this huge project all at 11PM. - to a high schooler that is! :) It is positioned to show all the aspects of the object, in this case the Golden Gate Bridge. It is held straight and it shows all the angles in relation to one another.

This picture, on the other hand, has an interesting perspective, of us driving on the bridge about to cross one of those arches. You most likely won't see this picture in a textbook, so it makes it more artistic. I like both perspectives, because each of them are realy intersting.
There u have it! a mini lesson on positioning a picture! *Look out for your camera when you want to position it a certain way, especially when you are driving and sticking your camera out the window while trying to take a good picture of the Golden Gate Bridge!!
