I took a short trip the past week and though I had less than the usual photo opportunities I did experiment some and do some thinking. My wildlife shots were few and my typical portraits, but I put a little more thought into my scenery photos. The only real way to make them work was to use the old “Rule of Thirds”. So, I thought maybe this could spur some activity here and could be useful to some members.

Below are a few links and a few of my examples. Add your comments, links and photos and let´s explore the Rule of thirds a little more closely.

The Rule of Thirds
The Rule of Thirds was the creation of painters in the Renaissance. The aim of this style of composition is to provide a bit of background in the photo, to allow the photo to tell a story. Renaissance painters found that the eye doesn't rest on the center of a photograph.
