Sunday Stills: The Rule of Thirds

I wasn't really aware of the Rule of Thirds, although I think I've applied it subconsciously to some of my photos. I haven't yet perused the "how to" books, so this challenge was good for me.

So here goes.

The rule of thirds just gives a little more dynamic feel to the pictures...and you're "not supposed" to place landscapes at the halfway point, but instead at the bottom or top third...I think this makes photography a science rather than an art ;)

Ahh...there is science to ALL art. Whether it's compounding colors for oil painting, establishing perspective, or the proportions of the human figure. As well as the three-act structure for plays and novels. I've been focusing my research on novel architecture instead of picking up guidelines for photography. :-)

Hi Mary,
So glad to find you through Kacy's blog. Hope all is well. Great photos! That is my kind of trailer park. :-)
