Assignment 1: Rule of Thirds
- 2. Find images that deal primarily with the issue of formal structure, or how a photograph is “put together.”
- 3. Think about your subject matter. What will you photograph? What interests you?
- 5. • The rule of thirds helps you create more interesting compositions. • Imagine two horizontal and two vertical lines equally dividing your shot, then place subjects on the lines or where they intersect with each other. • Place your horizon on the top or bottom line to add emphasis to the ground or to the sky respectively.
- 17. In learning how to use the rule of thirds the most important questions to be asking of yourself are: What are the points of interest in this shot? Where am I intentionally placing them?
- 18. For Next Class: Assignment: • Photograph 50 images that represent a good sense of composition/rule of thirds. • All photographs MUST be taken over the next five days. Do not use old photos that you have previously taken and do not use photos from the Internet. All photos must be current and taken by you. • Subject matter: whatever you choose – think about your composition. Don’t take the photo to “take the photo” You will be graded on effort, composition, subject matter and use of photoshop tools. Bring to class: All images on your camera + the cords to download them to the computer or bring all images on a jump drive to download to computer.
