These two images of a gazebo
on the local common
are a good example of a typically centered picture
versus a picture taken using the rule of thirds.
I like both of these photgraphs but
I like the second picture more
because it still highlights the beauty of the gazebo,
while showing other interesting things as well.

ReplyDeleteI might disagree about the thirds not knowing if I'm right or wrong. The first picture is good with gazebo centered but it is too high in the picture. The shadow competes for dominance. In the second the gazebo seems not to be the subject. The second is better though. Nice slide show.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I replaced the first picture with one more centered so the shadow is now a little smaller but I agree with you that it is fighting for dominance.
ReplyDeleteGood job on this study. There's an interesting light dark symmetry on the top one and the rule of thirds photo is great. Try changing the contrast on it when we work in Photoshop and the colors on the right will "pop" right out...
ReplyDeleteYes, I think both have nice crisp detail, but a little too much direct sun since they were taken close to mid-day. I'll try Photoshop changes to compare the difference.
ReplyDeleteThe rule of thirds makes a tremendous difference between the two pictures of the gazebo! Although the focus of the picture is not as apparent with the rule of thirds, it does make the picture far more interesting and appealing to the eye, least in my opinion. Great comparison between centering and the rule of thirds!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job on the pictures of the gazebo, I think they look great. It is nice the second picture you brought the house into the picture. It looks great.
