WEEKLY INFORMAL CHALLENGE 107: "Rule of Thirds"

Weekly Informal Challenge number 107 is "Rule of Thirds" (Thanks again to Inga M. for this idea)

"Rule of Thirds"- You can use it in any type of photography you like – portraits, landscapes, sporting, macro, animals, food…. whatever you like. Just make sure you adhere to the principles of the Rule of Thirds (The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds both horizontally and vertically so that you have 9 parts. The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.) when composing your shot.

I'm posting early Thursday to give extra time to think about it and execute (and because I have another wedding to shoot this weekend).

Been trying to get a shot of my bathroom remodel so trying the 1/3rd rule was a challenge but did get better image than I had the other times I tried this past month. Distortion has been a problem - trying to correct it in Adobe made it worst! (Not the best at major editing) Vertical worked better than horizontal & wanted to show the ugly lights. Part of the image follows the rules... :roll: http://www.pbase.com/cits_4_pets/image/142942609


Tic Tac Toe anyone? Image :twisted:
sorry Scott!
