Around the world millions of people photographing. In many countries, photography has become a national hobby. That is in Japan and closer to us geographically and culturally Czech Republic. In Poland wins photography also growing crowds of supporters, especially among young people. l do not have anything in this strange, because this is the most accessible means of artistic expression, freed from the technical complexity of the workshop painting, or music renaissance sculptures.

Implementation of any photographs can be divided into two spheres: the technical and compositional. Popular literature is mainly devoted to photographic technical problems related to the exercise of photos. Meanwhile, modern, highly automated equipment and photographic characterised by high tolerance photoactive materials, not to mention cutting-edge digital devices, a photographer from having to release the precise parameters for determining exposure. From the technical photography is increasingly limited to press the shutter Remote control systems and putting naświetlonego negative (and sometimes slide) to a photographic. Even when black and white photography - unfortunately already becoming less popular with the photographers - the basic process technology can be mastered relatively fluent within a few hours. Aesthetics and composition are treated in books insufficiently devoted to photography. And if anything, we remind the board rather "a book cookbook" with ready-made prescription is not explaining why such a different composition is better for the type of photos.

Meanwhile, the composition and an appropriate and aesthetics can not be disregarded in any case in any consideration of photography. In photographs it is - composition - more important than the workshop, since properly composed and not incidental hotel is the main objective of the photographer. The case is very important especially in the field of photography, mainly registering a very dynamic events "in the heat." In photography - call it "family" - with which most will have to face the readers of this book, unfortunately, very often meet with the statement: "as well came ...". It really is not any of our achievement! This is only an accidental success, which by itself can not assign! We should be able to say: "I received the intended effect." You can add at this point only that, in the case of artistic photography is indeed a disaster.

Regardless of whether photographing type compact camera, or a professional SLR, or record the image on negatywie, slide or using a digital camera, whether we see a picture paper, whether on the computer monitor, we are always dealing with the same layout: the image and viewer . How to schedule staff photos, see what the viewer is not looking at - this is precisely this book.

Changes in construction equipment, even violent in recent years the development of digital technology, creates a situation in which the work on the photo extends beyond the moment you press the shutter Remote control systems. Often the final result is achieved only on-screen computer monitor. Digital photography is also able to correcting the many elements of the image, which has failed to adequately and planned to obtain in the process during the pursuit of photos. But whether we will see the SLR viewfinder, dating compact camera or on a computer monitor, composing the image rules are always the same.

This book is addressed to all those stakeholders who wish to know the rules, how the correct composition of the picture. These principles are universal and apply to both the photographic image and the recovery of other techniques. The author hopes that this book will help readers consider technical aspects of photography not as an end in itself, but only as a means to obtain properly composed, aesthetic fotogramu, which will result in oglądającego by fotografującego intended effect. Regardless of whether the photograph will provide a separate "paper" whether the hotel will also presented the image of a computer screen or through a projector.

Of course, you can not talk about a successful image, if nevertheless correct compositions bear it have some technical errors. The reader up after this book should already have a basic knowledge of photographic equipment and maintenance treatment of photographic materials or work with the basic tools for working with bitmaps - unless uses photographs in its zdygitalizowanej version.

The book consists of two principal parts. The first deals with the proper rules of composition (construction) photographic image. The second is devoted to formal composition.

Each issue raised in it is illustrated with drawings and photos. It is important that the reader does not treat illustrations as "benchmarks", since this is the easiest way to perished own creative individuality. The pictures are just an example of the application of certain rules of formal composition and responsible.
