Pixe

ls

What are pixels? The word "pixel" means a picture element. Every photograph, in digital form, is made up of pixels. They are the smallest unit of information that makes up a picture. Usually round or square, they are typically arranged in a 2-dimensional grid.

for Your Digital Photo

• Use an almost-wide-open f-stop to boost sharpness.

• Avoid too-small f-stops.

Rule of ThirdsThe rule of thirds is

the simplest rule of composition. All you do is take your frame and overlay a grid of nine equal sections. This means you split the vertical space into three parts and the horizontal space into three parts.
