Take a landscape photo with the horizon on the bottom rule of thirds
the horizon line is where the sky meets the ground so as you can see in this photo I've put the horizon line at the bottom of rule of thirds lines showing more of the sky.
Shutter speed 1/5000 aperture f/8.0 ISO100
In this image the horizon line is not as predominant as the last image but i have placed as much of the horizon line as possible on the top of rule of thirds showing more ground .
Shutter speed 1/320 aperture f/8.0 ISO100
An image i took at black sand beach in waiuku i place the horizon at the top of the rule of thirds and her hands meet with the sun and horizon kind of in the centre, i dont like that there is a person standing in the background though.
Shutter speed 1/640 f/4.0 ISO160
Using a wider frame take a photo of someone and place your subject of thirds to guide your composition
Ive placed my subject in the rule of thirds intersecting lines
shutter speed 1/160 aperture f/22.0 ISO 2000
We had some sports boys running through and we asked them to do a pyramid and i placed them on the rule of thirds intersecting lines
shutter speed 1/320 aperture f/ 8.0 ISO100
ive placed my subject on the right of the image so her eye is on the rule of thirds intersecting line
Take 3 more photos of your choice using the thirds to guide your composition
i placed my focus point near the centre and had a narrow depth of field, this photo was a fluke and i was just messing around but i really liked the outcome. I could focus more on my focus (lol) as the fucl point is soft.
Shutter speed 1/500 f/2.0 ISO100
I seem to favour the narrow depth of field and high shutters
in this photo I've focused on a close up of my subjects face having the rest of the body fade out of shot . i have placed my subject on the left of rule of thirds , her eye is not on the intersecting line because i was afraid her head would be out of frame. in a way this photo is a fail because i didn't use rule of thirds correctly also the focus of her face is quite soft next time i will focus on her eyes
Shutter speed1/1250 f/1.8
in this image i placed my focus subject in the centre of rule of thirds and placed her bunny on and intersecting line so there is more space on the left of the image.
shutter speed 1/80 f/5.6 ISO3200
Nice work Mona. I don't think the second to last photo of your is a fail. Your framing and vantage point is very successful. You have eliminated most of the background through narrow depth of field and as the viewer I feel a strong connection with the subject through the directness of her gaze.
