DIVIDING THE FRAME

BALANCE

Balance is at the heart of composition. True a good picture needs to have balance. Thats what i am trying to learn in this exercise. Balance is the resolution of tension, opposing forces that are matched to provide equilibrium and a sense of harmony. Its a fundamental principle of visual perception. (Michael Freeman, The photographers eye, 2007).

As i try to improve on my photography, this concept is one that i need to grasp well to be able to produce appealing pictures. In the last week i have read some books aimed at explaining elements of design.

1.The art of photography by bruce Barn baum
2. The Photographers Eye , by Michael Freeman.

By understanding these elements of design and applying them to my pictures, i reckon my photography well improve in leaps and bounce over the coming years.
