Horizon Rule. That is, the line of the horizon is always straight. For those who do not know it, they identify it in a landscape with an ocean view. Then the line that separates the sky from the ocean is the horizon line.
In spaces where the horizon line is not visible, it is correct to be guided by the vertical lines.
Rule of the Tercios. This is to activate the grid option on the mobile screen. Thus, the image is divided into 3 horizontal parts and 3 vertical parts. The grid level forms points of interest. So it’s just a matter of locating the element we want to photograph in one or more points of interest. It will depend on our needs.
Look. Namely, for the case of people or animals whose gaze is not in front of the camera. Then we must place them in the points of interest against the direction of the gaze. As a result the viewer will have the impression of looking the same as the subject of the image.
Air. So everything up, down or on the sides of the image that does not matter, we denote air. For this reason we eliminate them.
