Rule of Thirds

These were my two shots comparing a "bull's eye" photo with one using the rule of thirds technique. I use the rule of thirds often because I had learned it in an art class I took a while ago. I think that sometimes a photo looks better when the subject is smack dab in the middle, but often is looks better a little off-centered. I especially like the rule of thirds shot out of these two because of the one stem that strays off from the rest of the daisies. I find that it pulls your eye away from the bouquet, like we learned that leading lines can do in our reading this week.

  1. This is an interesting photograph. The rule of thirds definately changed the image. It brings your attention to a different place. It definitley depends on the what you are photographing. You did a nice job.

  2. I really like the second image using the rule of thirds...it definitely gives the photo a different meaning, but what really brought my attention to it was that you could see that lone green stem more, which brought my eyes to the rest of the photo. Nice work.

  3. The first picture looks like it is in the corner.
