ART IN PHOTOGRAPHY 213
When a photograph is being taken in which there appear a large number of lines running in any particular direction, it is well to arrange so that objects the lengths of which lie in a direction at right angles to the others may break the monotony of such a view.
A good plan, and one frequently adopted, is to place the camera so that the objects of interest lie along one of the diagonal lines of the picture, balancing in the remaining spaces suitable objects of minor importance.
Such a plan as this can be readily followed when the portrait of one person only is required.
Another method is to group the objects so that a series of pyramids is formed. Such a grouping gives an impression of physical stability to the picture, and might with advantage be adopted in the photography of groups at a picnic or some similar occasion.
Lastly, in suitably chosen subjects, details arranged so as to lead the eye in a circular manner through the picture have a very good effect and give an impression of continuity.
For those who undertake the photography of objects for scientific purposes, or merely to obtain records of events, the above remarks are not intended, since in such instances the main object is to secure exactness as to the relative positions of certain objects, and details of construction, irrespective of the pictorial effect.
Those enthusiasts in photographic work who have not had the advantage of good training in art are advised, more especially if they may claim good artistic taste, to carefully study some good book on the composition of pictures, and to supplement that study by the critical examination of such masterpieces of art which they will there find specified, as illustrating the various points tending to produce a good picture.
