Discussion - February 2011 SMB Photography Challenge - Rule of Thirds

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

I'm moving house today and find that I'm going to be without Internet access until Feb 2nd.

Therefore, you have an extra day or so to enter January's competition and the added bonus of February starting early.

With apologies to the more experienced photographers and artists in the room, we're going back to basics of composition for the February challenge, and the subject is: Rule of Thirds

Don't forget that the picture must be taken between now and Feb 28th.

Happy shooting

hmmmmm

learned this in art and design years ago, good composition and all that.

gonna be interesting to see how folks interpret this one, its fairly ambiguous and can be difficult to get right.

I just googled 'rule of thirds' and looked at images only, there is some real sh1te! - lol

btw hope the house move goes ok AB22

its the rule of thirds and rules are meant to be broken

Maybe we should take two photos of the same thing and show how the rule of thirds can improve a picture; or when the rule of thirds can be broken.

I envisaged a lot of pictures of trees/fields/horizens being placed on thirds when I saw the theme. Still each theme has always thrown up different takes on the subject.

I was completely unaware of the rule of thirds, so big thank-you's as it's made me look it up and this afternoon the bairn and I spent time practising.

Maybe one day I'll take a photo worth posting on here

I'd thought of that, but she's not a member on here so is that allowed ??




... OK I could just get my arse in gear and take some photos myself

[Hue Jorgan]

interesting to note that a quarter of the month has gone, and no-one has posted an entry!

is the subject matter hard?, or are folks waiting to see what others enter - lol

everyone is getting a bit competetive - mint!
