Sunday Stills ~ Rule of Thirds

 

This week’s Sunday Stills Challenge is called the ‘Rule of Thirds’.

The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. It is believed that by aligning a subject with these points it creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than by simply centering the subject.

Here are my efforts:

#1(My trio posing under the Route 66 bridge on the Bosque Bike Trail)

#2(My kidlets posing ‘in thirds’ at the New Mexico State Fairgrounds. The yellow Zia Pueblo Indian symbol on the gate represents New Mexico and is on our State Flag)

#3(A fowl line-up at the Rio Grande Zoo) 

#4(The Beach Apartments, created by architect, Antoine Predock, my first home in Albuquerque 17 years ago)

#5(A Letterboxing hike in Angel Fire, New Mexico)

#6(Habaneros Polocrosse Team)

#7(My Neighbor’s Grey Gelding)

#8(Sunshine on Sunflowers)
