Week 6 Challenge Completed

Rule of Thirds

Wikipedia says the "The rule of thirds" is a "rule of thumb" or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject.

The challenge

So this week's challenge was to take an image that demonstrates the rule of thirds.

For this week's challenge went to Wicken Fen which is a National Trust property in Cambridge, as I knew it has wind pumps that could be placed nicely on one of the lines of thirds and also line up the centre of the sails with an interesction point
