Horizon Lines Are Our Friends
8 months ago
You know, lots of things come together to make great photographs - color, composition, dramatics, impact, emotion, etc. Today I'm going to discuss composition, specifically "Horizon Lines" and how the position of our subjects within the scene containing horizon lines can lead to dramatic compositions. I'll discuss both interior and exterior horizon lines and just how to find the best location of your subject with regard to those horizon lines. Hit the "Play" button below and enjoy the show.

I did have one question, about the tic-tac-toe board. More specifically about the shot of the bride standing in the wind at the railing near the field about halfway in the video. My instinct would be to put the bride at one of the top nodal points and then also put the horizon line at the bottom line of the tic-tac-toe point. So my real question, I guess, is... does the tic-tac-toe board only apply to subjects, or can they also be used to frame the horizon and/or scenery? :) Or will something like that make the composition too technical and lose its feeling?
