I'm sure that if you're somewhat into photography you have heard of the rule of thirds. If you haven't click here.

Now rules are made to be broken. I for one think that sometimes the subject belongs dead in the center of an image. I like angles and I like the feeling of motion in a shot, but nothing yields a better shot as one of a locomotive dead center in the shot while you're slowly alternating zoom with the shutter open at night.

Let's use this thread to discuss our unique approaches to composition.

 

I know what the rule of thirds is now that i'm in a photography class, but it turns out i've been using it all along naturally. When I submitted a picture and the teacher commented on my proper use of the rule of thirds and all I could think is "wtf are you talking about?". Sometimes though I take a picture with the subject in the dead center of a picture... it really depends what i'm taking a picture. I just try to frame it the way I think it looks best at the moment.

 

^^ill agree with that. At the same point, sometimes Ill take a picture with something in the middle, but when I go to edit it, Im kinda like "what were you thinking"

 

I think that it looks better 2/3's...i also learned about that in drawing class..very interesting stuff =]
