The golden mean (or golden ratio) has been a principle of artistic design for centuries. Simply put, designs are split into two segments. The first segment takes up two-thirds of the design, and then the second segment takes up the remaining third. Take a look at a picture of the Roman Coliseum for a good example.
Photographers in Las Vegas wish others to join in this hobby or profession of photography that is both a simple hobby to start and a difficult skill to master. Differentiating aspects of the workings of a camera must be understood before they can be manipulated to capture the exact art work that the photographer desires, but at its core all photography is as simple as capturing exposed light onto film or digital processor.
This means that at its most basic level, photography is not seeing what is in front of the camera and snapping a shutter but rather capturing the light emitted from an object, light reflecting off that object or the lack of light either emitted or reflected. Understanding this simple principle is the basic and most fundamental beginning to a new photographer's exploration into the world of photography.
From this principle will stem all of the other knowledge that a photographer waxing in skill will learn. Adjusting aperture and shutter speed as well as positioning and framing will all depend on how the photographer wishes to manipulate the light that enters the lens and on to film. Because of this a new photographer must remember that all decisions must hinge on this principle of exposing light to film.
When this is the main goal of a photographer, all other technical aspects of photography will slide easily into place and learning new techniques of art in photography will come without complication or severe trial. With the primary goal of letting a desired amount of light into the camera lens, artistic beauty will flow naturally to the object of the photographers picture, whatever that object may be.
It should be here noted, however, that a very begging and aspiring photographer should first understand the physical and mechanical workings of their specific camera by reading and studying the owner's manual for the new camera.
Now that you know your focus, you can start applying the rule. The rule of thirds is a simple, and easy to apply when you know the golden mean. Mentally slice the image into three sections horizontally. Do it again vertically. In your mind, you will create a grid of nine equally sized boxes, divided by lines. Use those lines to give priority to your focus.
After the basics functions of the camera are learn a photographer can being to capture their images. Composition, or how the photograph is framed, is a good place for a photographer to start when considering how to best artistically capture an image.
Composing an image is itself and art form and may take a photographer a while to develop their own style of composing a photo. Some of the basics to composing a photo include not centering a subject while still making it the subject and not including extensive background of the subject if the photo is designed to be based upon that subject.
