Out of the 8 compositional tricks, my favorite is Extreme Angles. It's my favorite because I like that you can capture something or someone and have the world see them in a way they never thought of before. I'll most likely start using the Rule of Thirds and Framing. They're really good techniques to making the viewer focus on the right subject. The most difficult trick for me was the Fill in Flash. It's also my least favorite because it doesn't really do anything except make it easier to see the picture. My favorite photo would have to be either the Frame or the Extreme Angles. I like how they're black and white and I love the difference between those pictures and the other ones I have.

Compositional Trick #7 Drawing with Light

Drawing with light is when the photographer uses only the light to make the picture. Not just a shadow but dramatic light to show an emotion or show someone or something's inner beauty.

Compostional Trick #6 Framing

Framing is a technique used to lead the viewer to the emphasis of the picture. There's no limit to what a frame can be. In this picture i used the tree branch, and in the one at the top, i used the building. It can completely framing the emphasis or just a side of it. Anything that makes you look inside it will work.

Compositional Trick #5 Extreme Angles

Extremem angles are a way of showing people the world something in a way that you don't normally see it. You can either do it in a worm's eye view or a bird's eye view. Above there are examples of both but personally, I think the one of the gong isn't that good. The bicycle is a better example. A good photo of an extreme angle will make you feel like you're really looking at it that way.

Compositional Trick #4 Simplicity

Simplicity is when you take out all the extra stuff and make the whole entire picture about the emphasis. Sometimes pictures are so chaotic and they have so much going on that the viewer gets distracted. Keep it simple and a picture will always come out better.
