The final tip I took from the first week was in regards to Portraits, different rules come in to play depending on your subject. If you are taking pictures of Children it is better to get to their level, this is clearly shown by the 3 pictures below of my eldest daughter Dannielle (taken from The 3 Height Rule). The first picture shows the subject being over powered, the second picture is just right whereas the third picture gives you the sense of the subject overpowering you. Again, depending on what you are trying to achieve the photo’s each serve their own purpose, for me the best portrait is TO BE FINISHED
<PHOTOS>
Adults are a different kettle of fish, as long as you’re not a million miles above your subject it would appear that you get a better picture. This is shown in the two pictures below of a fellow student. The first is a picture taken from a lower level and the second from a higher level, as you can see the picture from above brings out the features of my fellow student. Now whether these rules work in general I will soon find out as I take more photographs
