composition is very difficult. So, I've set out quite the challenge for
myself here!
It is my goal that you come away from this eBook with many new
viewpoints and opinions on how to better compose an image. I will be
happy if you take a few of your new lessons learned and begin applying
them immediately. Throughout the text, I'll do my best to have many
golden nuggets of truth that you can revisit from time to time as gentle
reminders.
I sometimes equate learning composition to learning a golf swing. I
notice that people that have a good golf swing (not me) whisper little
reminders to themselves from time to time. They practice here and there,
even when they are not holding a golf club! Like Buddhists, they chant
mantras like, "Cock your wrist here," and, "Shift weight to left leg," et
cetera.
We should try to achieve the same goal with composition. I want you
thinking about it all the time, even when you are not holding a camera.
Because, let's face it, MOST of the time you are not holding a camera, but
you are seeing interesting things. As a photographer, you are probably
already noticing little bits here or there. (BTW, don't you feel sorry for
non-photographers who can look at a salt shaker, and all they see is a salt
shaker? They don't see it in relation to the pepper shaker, its distance
from the edge of the table, and the soft lights behind the salt shaker.)
While you are going about your normal life and noticing these wonderful
little bits, think about composing them for a photo. Repeat little
composition-mantras over and over as you consider the subject
matter. If you repeat this over and over again for a few weeks, it
will become almost automatic when you pick up your camera.
Even better, you will start to make "a little game" out of
things you are seeing every day. It will
