Question 37

Most smartphones are equipped with a moderate wide-angle lens. Shooting good photos with wide-angle lenses depends on utilizing the foreground. Therefore, without cropping or zooming into the sensor, in most cases you are not going to great pictures of distant subjects. That means shooting sports or wildlife is probably not a great idea with your smartphone.

Answer 37

Pick the right subject matter

With most phones, you do not have the optics or the aperture to blur out busy backgrounds, so you are better off if you keep your compositions simple and get close enough to fill the frame.

Keep your subjects simple

Question 47

When the sun is hanging low in the sky and is coming in from one side or the other, it is producing sidelight. This is great for shooting landscapes, because the interplay of light and shadow help to capture depth and texture. Note: While light and shadow are desirable, shooting in the middle of the day is difficult because the light coming from directly overhead creates shadows that obscure rather than sculpt the scene.

Answer 47

Sidelight and Backlight

Answer 53

Symmetrical compositions

Question 54

A variation of the rule of thirds, the Golden Ratio divides the frame using slightly different spacing of the _________ lines

Answer 54

intersecting lines

Question 54

Yet another variation on the theme, this arrangement divides the frame into triangles, as shown on the left in the figure down below. The sweet spots for your subject are, again, at the points where those lines intersect.

Answer 54

Golden Triangle

Question 55

To add life to your images, compose the scene so that the viewer’s eye is led naturally from one edge of the frame to the other or even entirely around the frame. You can create these leading lines with shapes, patterns of color, or variations of light and shadow.

Answer 55

Answer 56

Radial compositions

Question 57

subject elements that overlap indicate increasing depth, as do the relative sizes of objects of known dimensions.
