After posting this article in response to the previous post about composition, I was asked if I had any other links.
As a disclaimer, I don’t necessarily endorse these but over the years I’ve taken from them the parts that resonated.
Feel free to do the same and I hope you get as much from them as I have.
A post by Andrew S. Gibson which talks about gesture and punctuation.
Ken Rockwell gets a lot of stick but he’s a great resource if you don’t take him too seriously. His page on composition.
I feel I’m missing some, I’ll add them if I can find them.
This is a great read, particularly the points about balance.
My phone’s camera only has the thirds grid, unfortunately, although I had an older app that used to have a few options (but not dynamic symmetry grid).
Switch off the grid :)
