I had a lot of fun with this week's Sunday Stills challenge, the "Rule of Thirds"! It's not something that I've put a lot of thought into, so when I specifically tried to take photos keeping this rule in mind, I found myself getting into kind-of a rut, in that I was just putting the subject in the bottom right or left corner of my shot.
Here are my "corner" pics:
I liked these photos just fine, but then had to remind myself that I had a whole lot more room to play with...
So, using Caspian as my subject, I tried to branch out a little. With these, I tried to work with the top/bottom and left/right thirds.
I call this photo "shoo fly" and actually didn't take it for this challenge, but ran across it in my "Caspian" picture folder and thought I would post it, 'cause I *think* it follows the rule.
Lastly, tonight's sunset. I'm usually pretty good about keeping the horizon in the bottom third in sunset pics...but now I'm gonna think about it every time! :)This one definitely was a bit of a challenge for me! I'm really glad to have participated though because now I have something new to keep in mind when taking pictures!

You did great! I love those first bunch of floral and buggy photos. They showcase the challenge perfectly. And all the Caspian photos are fun and unique. I like the apple munching photo and the shoofly.

ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful, I love the sunflower shots, and Caspians whiskers!
These are all just outstanding photos. My very favorite is the horse's muzzle with whiskers backlit.

ReplyDeleteNice shots. Like the bugs and the sunflowers. The one with the legs is interesting too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa, the floral and bug pictures are very striking, but I also like the ones of Caspian. Well done!

ReplyDeleteI think my favorite would have to be "Shoo Fly" ... but I love the colors in the floral ones - sunflowers especially!
Loving the new look as well!
