Conclusion 



While the use of the basic principles and techniques presented 

 herein will produce pictures which are technically acceptable, there 

 is an area of photography in which the photographer's individuality 

 and imagination play a large part. This area is usually developed 

 after the photographer has become competent in producing technically 

 acceptable pictures and consists of factors such as the framing of the 

 picture, the angle at which the picture is taken, special use of the 

 lighting available, and special effects. These factors are probably 

 more important to the esthetic photographer, but certainly have a place 

 in technical photography and should be consciously developed and used 

 wherever practical.
