09/09 Photography HW

#1. Take a landscape photo using the rule of thirds with 2 elements in it at 2 different focal points.

Okay... my new title is "Worst Landscape Photographer Ever". I pulled an old photo for this, because I spent an HOUR wasting time and gas trying to find a good landscape picture, and found nothing. Well, I took 4-5 awesome shots in my head, but there was nowhere to safely or even semi-legally park to take them with my camera... -_-

Auburn's campus. It sort of follows the rule of thirds....

sort of.....ish... maybe.... -_- or not. Its also not straight, but SHH. I wanted my points to be Samford Hall (that gorgeous red building with the clock tower in the background) and whatever hall that is on the bottom right point. But I tried cropping it different ways, and it just didn't work out.

Also, in the above vintage-y edit, I lost a lot (okay, all) of the cloud details... which made me sad. Not sure how to fix that though.

#2. Take a photo making use of depth of field to pinpoint where you want your focus point to be, and make sure the focus point is following the rule of thirds.


I like this one... :) Can anyone say "really wide open aperture" and "awesome macro extension tubes"?

and it follows the rule of thirds beautifully! :)

#3. Take a photo employing unusual angles and a situation where the rule of thirds would not be helpful.


Okay... so I couldn't pick just one. I took the same picture in two different ways... and I couldn't decide which one to use. So here's both. :)

I unintentionally followed the rule of thirds with the picture below... my calculus book falls on one of the points, I believe. Oh well. :P
