Digital+Photography

Have you ever heard of the saying, **"A picture is worth a thousand words"** (Napoleon Bonaparte)?

What do you think it means?

When we take photos we want them to convey a message to the people who are going to view them.

It is important for us to consider the following elements of photography:


 * Line, colour, people and light
 * Using the thirds rule
 * Varying the angle (take photos down low and up high)
 * Frame your subject (foreground)
 * Lines leading into the photo
 * Use 'Macro' (close up shots)
