Exercise 1: Positioning a point



The point of focus being the dog, cropping the picture to position him in the lower right part of the frame, with the rule of thirds in mind gives some sense of speed. As most people scan a picture from left to right it increases the notion of movement and speed


Placing the single point of focus at the bottom right delays the sight of the mahjong cube, as above the eye looks quickly at the top then goes down to the center of focus.



Having the cube on the opposite side gives an uneasy feeling of instability, as though the cube was about to fall.


The decision of positioning a single point varies from subject to subject. Regardless of the subject, the placement of the single point can change the picture dramatically.
