Assignment #2 is to take a couple of really beautiful shots this week in two different ways. Take a shot centering the item of interest and then take a shot putting it on one of the "third" lines. Post the photos side by side and compare them on your blog.
I did this twice..... while I understood the assignement of course, and I did think that using thirds seems to be really powerful- but I had a hard time picking them, both to TAKE the picture, and which of the groups to post.
This is my daughter, at the play ground. The bottom is centered, and the top is on a third line.
This one is of one of my photo albums for my daughters pictures. The top is off centered, and the bottom is centered. It definitely changes the initial viceral response to the photo.
Putting the subject on one of the third lines definitely makes the photo DEEPER, despite which line is chosen. There seems to be a lot more distance between the viewer and the subject and you almost find yourself leaning in towards the screen to get closer.
