Frame & Composition: Activity 3 Blog



Activity 3:

Find two examples of Photographs that follow the Rule of Thirds and two examples that do not. Comment briefly on why and how you think the composition works.

River Tree - from Wikimedia.org

This composition works because the tree is in the lower right corner instead of directly in the center. I chose to use a GIF image to demonstrate the positioning of the tree, and because I liked the shift in color scale when the lines appear.

The Rule of Thirds - by Alaphoto

The composition in this picture features a sun in the upper left corner and a boat in the lower right corner. I chose this image because I liked the similarities between it and the picture above.

Center - by Jaxon S

This image is not rule of thirds because it just features the three plants in the center of the image. The background is just a plain blue sky and the plant is in the center, this image uses simplicity more than rule of thirds.

Seagull (Centered) - from Photo96.com

This image matches the same description as the one above, meaning the seagull is in the center of the image and features a blue background; using simplicity over rule of thirds. On the website their is an accompanying picture which features the seagull in a corner thus following the rule of thirds and explaining why the title of the picture is Seagull (Centered).
