Horizons

When I was contemplating what photos to use this week,
I remembered the ‘rule of thirds‘.
I have concluded that many of my photos do not adhere to this rule.
In this first shot, for example, I simply wanted to compose the photo so that I would have a large amount a sparkling water in the foreground and the oil tanker as the centre piece.
The tanker became part of the horizon.
It appears to be a rule of twos to me.
Here I hope I have conveyed an open, empty area which has two horizons in it, I think.
Another rule of twos?
Closer to the rule of thirds?
One of my least favourite shots in this series.
As is this one…but closer to thirds? I also like the bolder colours.
Middle ground and far horizons add interest, I think.
I was trying to capture the sparkling water in later afternoon sun.
No horizon series would be complete without a Geelong City skyline…
or this shot across Corio Bay taken late yesterday afternoon.

I can live with that Sue. Although I did have a new follower today…a photographer…who seemed to adhere to the rule of thirds in as many photos as I did not 🙂

Thank you. Rules spoil photography I think. When you have your eye to the view finder and a split second to make sure focus etc. is okay, the last thing I am thinking of “…is have I split my fame into three?…” 🙂

I’d not heard about this rule, but just went to Wiki to read all about. Doesn’t sound too complicated, but I’ve never liked rules. 🙂 Love those sailing ships.

Thank you…I’m not a fan of rules either. Takes the fun out of photography. 🙂
