Soft light and Hard light


soft light 



The persons head in the bottom with the tree above is the best example of the 2 images for the rule of third. Both images uses the rule of third well and lines everything up well along the lines. 

hard light 

You can tell hard light and soft light apart by the contrast of the photograph. Hard light has higher contrast than soft light because of the involvement of dark shadows and shade.




This image is a example of a silhouette where we used the direction of light to create a shade and control where the light was coming from.

The rule of third is used to focus the focal points of a photo. This is done by creating a grid in the form of a noughts and crosses style design. The main focal points are highlighted through the use of lines in the grid dividing and separating the focal points from the rest of the photo. The grid devices the photo in 3 lines both horizontal and vertical. The rule of thirds is a compositional technique and is structured in this way. The image symbolises hard work and team work showing that you can achieve anything together when you put your mind to it. The rule of third technique adds focus to individual points of the image for example the art work is put into focus to showcase the handwork that has been put into it.
