[30 / 8 / 12]
I have found 27 compositions that would help me frame a video/photo in 80% of viewing situations. The issue is though that 20% of other photos. My composition rules are as follows: the rule of thirds in any way possible, baroque and sister diagnonals, rule of odds, rule of sixths in any way possible, filling the frame, center framing in any way possible, the simple viewing of the image, one point perspective, two point perspective, three point perspective, leading lines, geometric shapes, figure ground relationship, seperating shapes, symetrical balance, asymmetrical balance, group mass, rule of space, frame in a frame, corners, organizing like a paper, quadrant system, rhythm based on nature and patterns, bordering the image with space. Help me find other composition rules so that I can take a quick nice looking photo for the other 20%.

>>4101274 You know an intelligent person doesn't degrade someone like that for their photograph. You're lucky people directly respond to your questions, because had someone treated you the same way you treated me you would have thrown a big temper tantrum.

>>4101277 I'm calling it like it is. This photo sucks. That doesn't mean he can't improve; really, it means there's a lot that he can improve. But this photo fuckin sucks, and he needs to take more photos and learn how to apply the rules better.

Anon you don't use these tools in the moment, you use them after the fact.>Any geometrical analysis, any reducing of the picture to a schema, can be done only (because of its very nature) after the photograph has been taken, developed, and printed — and then it can be used only for a postmortem examination of the picture. I hope we will never see the day when photo shops sell little schema grills to clamp onto our viewfinders; and the Golden Rule will never be found etched on our ground glass. So our compositional rules are only applicable AFTER composing. However, we can use a few of them to adjust an existing composition in real-time. These are the ones that are easy to spot like baroque/sinister diagonals and rule of thirds etc. Basically just take whatever photo looks good to you in the moment. Turn off grids. I leave the level on but that's just for video.

Anyway I got about another 10% of possible photography compositions that add on to the other 27 giving 37: accessibility, good continuation, hierarchy, redundancy inverted pyramid, simplification through the least distraction, self-similarity, serial position effects, similarity, balancing elements and wabi.

>>4101272 Try golden ratio, shoose a theme you want to prioritize on your picture, for me i like taking photos of animals like portraits, or them doing action, like:Bird taking a shower in a river, or a cat hunting, photos are about capturing a certain moment, they are art, let your creativity take control, the rules are not exactly rules,they are more like frames, sometimes you can break a rule for a clever idea

>>4101416 Golden Ratio is too complicated as with the dynamic symmetry. I mainly use the rule of thirds, rule of sixths, center framing on my T2i. Fibonacci spiral doesn't allow much room for movement too for the subject. While all of my composition method are plentiful, they all can be simply framed in less than 15 seconds. Take group mass for example. Say there is a huge tree in a forest with the other trees appearing smaller, well you just simply zoom into that tree and you get a balanced image. The concepts I'm offering are based on designs and painting techniques before the 19th century.
