The Rule of Thirds Continued

 

I was delighted to see this as another lesson continued because I thought I was a natural at this.  But it was a little harder than I thought this time.  As I was taking these pictures I had the rule of thirds in mind and what I wanted to convey.  In some of the pics, the background was important so I wanted to be sure to include it and compose it just right but also use the rule of thirds.  The 3rd pic down of the little girl is one I struggled with.  I could've cropped her closer and put her eye right in the upper right corner but I also wanted to show her the shirt she had on and where she was in order to promote the Annual Turkey Trot we hold every year.  I knew this pic would make to the newsletter so I wanted the reader to be able to see where she was and what she was doing.  I really like the tip to keep the eyes as the focal point so that what I was trying to master with the Santa pics and the Turkey Trot pics.  The two pics at the bottom are images that I had this in mind when I shot them so I included them in this lesson.
