Assignment 2

Rule of Thirds

Composition using Rule of Thirds

Using the Rule of Thirds, practice taking photos for at least three of the following types of subjects:

  • Landscapes
  • Portrait
  • Street
  • Closeup
  • Sports
  • Architecture
  • Still Life
  • Fashion
  • Pet
  • Event

Try different compositions to see if rule of thirds can make your photos more dynamic.  You will want to try different compositions so you can compare them, but you will need to end up with 3-5 images for each of your 3 sets that show good “rule of third” composition.

Extra credit

You may also want to show 1) great images that defy this rule, and 2) lousy images that use this rule faithfully.
