For this submission, I wanted to apply what we learned about composition, namely the Rule of Thirds. I hoped that this method would help guide the viewer’s eye to the parts of the image I wanted to highlight. I turned on the grid view on my camera and tried to align the main subject with the most dynamic portions of the grid, as outlined by the rule. I did some cropping afterward but for the most part, the pictures were taken with the proportions in mind.
This is the original photo for the last image – the one above is very edited. With this one I was playing with skewing the proportions, forcing it to fit in the grid.
- I hope to eventually start taking pictures with my Canon rebel t3 but for now, I’m still using my phone.
- This exercise helped me be more thoughtful with the shots I take and pushed me to be less reliant on editing (apart from the last image).
- There wasn’t too much variety this week – a lot of street photography – so I’ll work on changing that for next time.
