Sunday Stills Back to Basic

The Sunday Still’s challenge this week is Back to Basics, the rule of thirds. We are to use the rule of thirds which is to put your subject into the upper or lower part of the shot or in the left or right half of the photo. Composition is the name of the game here and you can use any subject you find.

Hmmm…I better take a photography class. I’m not sure if I’ll get this one right.

Some extra photos that I took that I like are on my other blog, Horses Are Our Lives.
See other Sunday Stills shots here.


Horses in the fading sunlight.



Savannah. I really like this shot!



Posie, watching...



Hubby, fixing the weedwacker string,



a lone kitten.



Lady, watching the kitten.


and then there is this one,

a dead wolf spider, being eaten by ants. I'll show the ants on Macro Monday!
Yuck

I have other photos on my blog, Horses Are Our Lives. Enjoy!

Embrace the Journey!

your 1st and 3rd photo are your strongest rule of thirds shots (i saw in your s.s comment you weren't quite sure you were on the right track)

Well done. Lordy, you have lots of cats!! :)

Holly said...

yep, agree with Chole! It is easier to see when you have negative space around the main subject as you do in the dog photo

I think you got it figured just fine! I like the barnyard with the dog and kittens- busy place!

Nice shots! They made me smile...

Brenda said...

thanks, everyone. I took pictures, then goggled about how I should have taken the pictures. I should have done that first. so, my question is, do you always try to shoot photos using this rule of thirds?

Hi Brenda, Yes, Chloe is correct the rule of thirds is best shown in your first and third photo. A little cropping will help you out..do not be afraid to crop to get the rule down.
No, I do not use the rules of thirds all the time..but most very strong photos that you really like will follow this rule. It is one of the first rules of photography. Practice..practice:)
