The Influence of Aspect Ratio of Picture on the Composition (1)

Please pay attention to the light spot and area in the picture. They have unbelievable power. They can attract audienceEUR(TM)s attention. The passerby in red, the shop sign with signal color and the scene are the bright spots in the picture; even they are in the edge of the picture. They can also attract audienceEUR(TM)s attention. Obvious lines, inverted image or the main subject and the flickering sunshine highly possible bother the effect of the picture.
How much the authenticity should the picture have?
If you can discover the interference on time, you can get rid of it from the scene, and clean up the subject. As for which it depends on your wish. Putting the newspaper which is on the bench in a park or pulling out the weeds is not a tough question. But, not everyone is willing to pick up the butt discarded by others or tear the whole branch.

This is probably the easiest to ignore, that the vital element for overall image composition is: picture aspect.

As the name implies, picture aspect ratio refers to the ratio of length and the width of the image. It mainly depends on the size of the camera sensor. So usually the camera aspect of the original image is fixed, the camera sensor is 3:2, and the works after shooting is also 3:2.

What is aspect ratio?

Aspect is the fixed relationship between the length and width in the image, in the form of a digital display, such as 3:2, 16:9, and 1:1.

Most civil digital cameras are the two kinds of aspect: 3:2, 4:3.

Why is it so important?

What is the effect of picture aspect ratio on the composition? We begin with the principle of simple analysis. Composition first needs to decide the position of the subject, and then adjust the environment to express the idea of the photographer. It affects the main body and the distance of the picture frame, and it may also affect the subject to show the around space. The photographer's understanding of the different aspect ratio can improve the image composition.

3:2

This is it of silent frame camera sensor, and all silent frame (including film), APS - C cameras and some mirrorless cameras use 3:2 aspect ratio.

The size of silent frame camera is 36 mmx24mm, it is 36:24, and after mathematical simplification is 3:2; APS - C is around 22.5 mmX15mm (different vendors have slightly difference), the same. The picture width is 1.5 times than the height.

But many photography enthusiasts begin to try to use different aspect ratio to create, so camera makers also provide some functions to change it inside the machine menu. Generally only clipping in the camera, we also can use photo editing software or photo retouching software for clipping in the late.
