Activity 3

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

Photography by: Anton Lyalin

This picture is  a rule of thirds because it has the lion in the right most side of the photograph. This is successful because it conveys the power of the pride. I like this picture especially because this is my last year in the pride and I feel like this picture with the black and white color scheme creates a dramatic feel.

This picture is another example of rule of thirds because the visual focus is directed upon the old screw which is located on the right hand side of the photograph. I love the colors in this picture and how the details on the screw and the chipping paint make the picture complete.

This photo is not an example of rule of thirds because it is instead a leading lines picture. The Lines of the guitar string direct focus to the knobs on the bridge. This is not a rule of thirds because the subject is not lines up with one of the points on the rule of thirds grid.

This photo is an example of both leading lines and symmetry because the pieces of the foozeball direct your attention to the  center of the piece. this is not a rule of thirds because there is an equal amount of subjects on the opposite side of the composition.
