Week Five: Part Two

These photos are similar in that subject is the same, but their compositions are totally different. One was taken using the rule of thirds. You can see how the grass and fence frame the photo and my little boy is not directly centered in the shot. This photo was taken on an older camera in fall 2008 but shows the 1/3's rule well, I think.


The second photo I took of him straight on. All you see is a face! This photo doesn't tell a story like the first one does.



Hang tight for a few more examples coming soon! Let's hope this slushy, dreary weather lets up and allows for some nice photographic lighting tomorrow.

I don't know Karen, I think the 'devilish' grin is telling us quite a story! LOL!

Nice demonstration of the concept anyway.

I agree, a very good example of the rule of thirds.

We probably won't see sun until Monday or Tuesday though. Time to get creative!

The close up sure adds a personal element to the photo with that great big grin. However, the other photo adds some really nice background elements.

I agree with you the first picture sure does tell more of a story then the other. Nice pictures!!!
