I am really enjoying trying out this concept! Above you can see one of our classic covered bridges. The opening shot is straight on and centered, and I think it captures NONE of the true essence of a covered bridge! By changing my perspective a tad and moving the opening of the bridge off to one of the 'thirds' lines I hope I captured more of why we love these wonderful pieces of the past!
Below I celebrated a brief bit of this morning's sun to take another picture of a New England standard, the crisp white church. In the first photo the steeple is centered in the middle, which does draw the eye in for a solid focus, but in the second photo I tried to move the steeple off a bit to the left allowing the camera to capture a bit 'more' of the scene giving it a more complete feel (to my eye anyway).
Hope you enjoy today, and avoid the wind!

You got it! The Church is the stronger example of the use of thirds. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteDigging the Bridge Murph. Makes me a little home sick. Please fell free to give me holler if you'd like. I think you can get my email off the CCV site of not, let me know I'll get you my contact info.
ReplyDeletePerfect example with the church steeple. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI really like how much more majestic the church looks when using the rule of thirds. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what everyone else said. The church stands out a lot more and becomes the focal point with the rule of thirds. Great job Murphy!! :)
