Rule Of Thirds

The idea for our rule of thirds shoot was to devide our photos into thirds, and only fill only one of the thirds with the subject of the picture. In doing this, our goal was to create a balance between the subject, and the 2/3s left of the frame. Another trick that we used to achieve this balance was staying away from taking "say cheese" photos, with the subject in the middle of the picture. This for one, is a boring shot, but also makes our desired balance impossible to achieve. The rule applies to objects and people the same, and makes shots interesting because it forces us to think about were the subject of our picture is placed in our frame. Doing that as well as trying to take pictures of interesting things together was difficult, but the end products are nice. Taking pictures by the rule of thirds was an interesting new way to look at shooting photos.
