Rule of Thirds Quiz; Nov. 3/ 2010

In the first picture, the third picture and fourth image is a good demonstration of rule of thirds. Rule of thirds is when a picture shows more than one composition and two points of interest, making the eye have to focus on more than one spot on the image. Rule of thirds can also incorperate movement, leading lines, center of attention and balance.

The first picture the photographer shows good rule of third because the person who is standing on the posts is off-centered that is going through the top left and bottom left intersect. In the backround, you can see that the barn is to the right of the person, and draws attention in the middle-right intersect.

The third picture shows rule of thirds and movement. There are two main parts to the photo; the person that goes through the top and bottom left intersects, and the flying bird that is in the top right intersect, along with the people far in the distance through the entire picture.

The fouth picture also demonstrates a rule of thirds understanding and leading lines, because looking up from the ground to the sky and the tower, you find that the top of the tower draws your eye to the top right intersect of the photograph, which is also where all the lines from the tower meet in the middle. In the top of the picture you see the blue sky and clouds, which compliments the image.
