Week 3 Writing Assignment

A popular method to focus attention on the main subject of your photo is to use aperture to control depth of field. Another good way to focus attention on the main subject is by using contrast. Contrast can help define lines and make the subject clear and obvious. If you have a light solid background and your subject is bright and contrasted against the background, it will draw your eye to the subject. When you create contrast between the subject and everything else, the focus will most likely be on the object. Another way is the usage of lines, when you have a series of lines in a photograph created from different objects, your eye can follow the lines. The photographer can use this to manipulate the photo so your eye moves to the subject.
