| Composing Imagines |
 |
 |
| The composition of imagines is not as difficult as most people think, if you want to take a well organized picture, you just need to remember the followings: 1. Do not place the subject in the middle of the picture (unless you really want to do so). First, divide the whole view (picture) into nine parts with four intersection points. Place you subject at around either point A or B, for they are the "natural points" in a picture. |
| A |
| B |
| Centre |
| Centre |
| I have placed the model at around point B. |
| 2. Flaming the subject is a good idea. The subject in this picture is the house. I've flamed it with trees. Also, there is a path leading to the subject, hence depth is "created". Again, notice that I did not place the subject in the middle. |

| Which one has the better viewpoint? |
| 3. These two pictures show the same tallship but with different viewpoint. Make sure you choose the best viewpoint before you press the button, otherwise you'll waste a lot of films. How do I know which is the best? Ask yourself a simple question: Which looks more like a "ship" in these two pictures? (Answer: The one on top.)
