TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK 'This was a very enjoyable class! The lessons covered a broad amount of information and Jenni Bidner had a lot of insights into dog behaviors and the best ways to photograph different types of dogs. The assignments were quite fun.' -Steve Miller, student in Photographing Your Dog with an SLR Camera
ONLINE PHOTO CLASSES START MARCH 6TH!
THIS WEEK'S TIP Composition: When Breaking the Rules Is the Best Choice! by Jim Miotke and Kerry Drager, from The BetterPhoto Guide to Creative Digital Photography:
You'll rarely go wrong in choosing a photographic composition that follows the rules. However, for stepping up the creativity at times, don't get locked into the Rule of Thirds as a hard-and-fast policy. At times, it can be restrictive for those scenes that just don't fit into a Thirds setting. While the best spot for the subject may be somewhere off-center, for example, it might not necessarily be in one of the power points.
In fact, there are times when a dead-center composition is dead-on. This can be a subject with strong symmetry, such as a wheel, in which the hub is in the middle while the spokes spread out in all directions. Certain flowers, when photographed close up, work, too, as does sym metry in architecture. Likewise, some pictures don't even have a specific subject; rather, the entire photo is the subject, such as pattern or repetition scenes.
