Rules of Composition Test

The Rule of Thirds helps photographers:

• Perfectly center the subject in the frame every time.

• Create balanced, dynamic compositions.

• Avoid using background detail.

• Increase depth of field.

Leading lines can be created by:

• Objects pointing toward the subject.

• Using the flash setting.

• Editing in a filter.

• Cropping out the horizon.

A wide aperture (f/2.8) will most likely create:

• Deep depth of field.

• More noise in the photo.

• Shallow depth of field with background blur.

• Overexposure.

Analogous colors are:

• Opposite each other on the color wheel to create a strong contrast.

• Next to each other on the color wheel to create harmony.

• Three colors at equal points on the color wheel to add texture.

• Only used in black-and-white photography.

Shutter speed controls:

• Motion and exposure time.

• Color temperature.

• File format.

• White balance.

Negative space can make a photo feel:

• Crowded and intense.

• Calm or focused on a single subject.

• Busy and unbalanced.

• Washed out.

A Dutch angle is used when a photographer wants to:

• Create a sense of tension or unease.

• Emphasize balance and harmony.

• Highlight symmetry.

The Rule of Odds suggests:

• Subjects should always appear in pairs.

• Odd-numbered groupings are more visually appealing.

• Even-numbered arrangements are most balanced.

• Subjects should not overlap.

In asymmetrical balance, elements are:

• Different but still visually balanced.

• Repeated evenly.

• Arranged in patterns only.
