I've never been good at "book learnin'" stuff, but here's
one I created which I feel has good visual balance enhanced
by color, size and orientation. (Two different orientations
are show.)

Let me know, JJ.

p.4 I really like the first image Tim

#7 – Orientation
Quote-Vertical objects appear heavier than horizontal objects. A diagonal orientation carries more visual weight than a horizontal or vertical one. Lines can be very powerful in your composition. Pay close attention to them.



#7-Orientation-Eva-polak.

Remember, you don’t have to balance colour with colour, or light with dark – you can mix and match your visual weights. For example, a counterweight to a large, bright area might be a small red object. Experiment with different kinds of balance and play around with visual weight. See what works best for your images and the story you want to tell.

As you go out exploring with your camera on your next photo shoot, keep balance in mind and the seven factors of visual weight. Look closely and try to determine which elements are commanding the most visual weight when you compose your photographs, and see how they affect balance in your images.

Well thank you Judy! But I'm struggling actually to figure out why I like some of my shots much more than others - perhaps it has partly to do with an unconscious application of balance principles. Hhmmm, application or sheer luck?


p.5 With me, it would be some of each

I'm thinking that each tip applies to the example given. Not that all tips have to apply to one photo, Sunny.

I think that's why the author shows each example relevant to each tip. If you can do it all together --well, that's totally amazing!


Thanks Judy! Leave it to me to over think the subject!!! Maybe that's why I'm more comfortable with abstract than traditional photos.

p.5 Like the rusty bucket and the last landscape. To me, they look balanced

p.3 Must present a challenge when you try to dance!

Yes ma'am it does present a problem in that area.

I forgot to mention, you are all over this... the isolation of the church, is balanced by the colours, green, and the mist, which ads interest to the eye, drawing the viewer into the picture... the 2nd is the perfect blue of the sky, (colour) balancing against the imperfections of the tree...


Mucho Thanks, Dane

Judy, visual balance is probably my hardest thing to achieve in composition. I have a couple I hope works.

I posted this photo before. The blue umbrella was placed in the photo to balance the photo both in color and orientation. This is the Missouri Governor's Mansion. The blue catches you eye first and then you look to see where the woman is looking.


Great example Rufe..Pg. 1

Hang Glider cropped . I think this works better. If I cropped to much the horizon would be in the center, trying for more balance .


I think your right Greg the second crop works much better..Pg. 2

First try

The first one shows me inginuity(sp?) as thewindowisopen on the street sdie and also the things hanging in bit back.

The other two looks like a ''well'' a small neighbourhood set up at the bottom of a well as seen from the Chateau Frontenac and all three would make neat puzzles. BTW those yellow umbrellas shade a great spaghetti house


Really like 1 and 3 Jim..
