Rule Of Thirds Project Details:

Your next assignment is to compose 4 different images that demonstrate the rule of thirds. Your images must be properly lit, have the right levels of exposure and must be in focus. You must apply the Rule Of Thirds to each images composition. Try to compose your image in camera, and only crop your image if needed. These must be new images, not previous work examples.

You can shoot any subject you like, such as landscape, portraiture, still life, pets, architecture... but each of your 4 final images should be different subjects. 

You should shoot many images and choose the best... on average you should shoot about 15-20 shots and choose the single best example from each set.

Assignment Deliverables:
1- Four images that demonstrate the use of the Rule of Thirds in their composition. Each image must be a different subject matter, the subjects could be landscape imagery, portrait, still life etc. Take many photos of each subject and post your best.

2- Written Synopsis of the Rule of Thirds as you interpret it. Write a short description of this principle and how you used it in your images. Tell me what/where the focus point in each image is... where is the eye drawn to? Include these details in each image posted.

Grading:
  • Your work will be evaluated on its ability to demonstrate this principal in a creative and informative fashion and to meet all deliverables on time.
  • Image enhancement (color, B&W, color tweaking) is allowed as long as it enhances and does not detract from clearly demonstrating the principal. 
  • These images must not be over or underexposed and must be in focus. Use a tripod to ensure a jitter/blur free image.
  • Your images must demonstrate proper exposure techniques
Deadline:
This assignment is due at end of next weeks class.
