So to make your shots, or compositions, more interesting, mentally slice the image in
thirds, either vertically or horizontally. If there??™s a single subject to your composition, align
it along one of the imaginary dividing lines, rather than in the center of the frame. If there
are two subjects in the frame, let one dominate the larger two-thirds of the frame and
place the other in the smaller portion, rather than giving them equal prominence. (If
you??™re shooting two subjects of similar size, doing so may require you to get creative with
your camera angle by placing one in the distance and the other in the foreground.) Figure
5.32 shows a photograph of a room. It??™s a shot you can mimic in LightWave.
A shot framed in thirds takes into account not only the main focus but also the surrounding
areas of the frame. If you visualize the image in thirds, as in Figure 5.33, you can
Figure 5.32 A photograph of a room
might serve as a good reference for building
3D scenes, as well as framing shots.
Figure 5.33 When you visualize
your shot in thirds, elements within the
photo fall into place.Apply the same
principle to cameras in LightWave.
