Balance in composition.

Can someone post some example and explain this?

I think in photo.net, there are a series of articles on composition (which talks about balance) by Gloria Hopkins. Do a p.net search on gloria and composition.

Ditto Gloria's articles. Rather than another dry rehashing of the Golden Mean she provides a different perspective using photographs. Besides being an excellent photographer Gloria is also a fine painter, knowledgeable about composition and use of color. Nobody should be that multi-talented but she is.

Aravind, there are 3 articles by Gloria. Very nicely written and illustrated, the folowup discussions are interesting too.

For years, I've been buying books about composition but my best one is: Image Management...composition for photographers by Nicholas Haz (1946).

Tito,

 

Thanks! I have already started looking for that book.
