The Rule of Thirds

For the rule of thirds I used two of my photos from the in-class activity where we shot around campus and one of the cacti.  The first photo is shot ffrom just above ground level at an angle close to 90 degrees from the concrete.  The idea is to divide the photo into thirds with the emphasis on the lines created.  I used the lines on the concrete to show the division and further emphasize the pigeon that was walking across the frame.  For the second photo I found a sculpture the sun was shining on at an angle that created a shadow projected on the building behind the sculpture.  I placed the sculpture in one divisional line and the shadow in the other line.  This is more pleasing to the viewer then just symmetrical photos.  The third photo shows how the cactus can create this effect as well.  By setting the cactus in the dividing lines it becomes the main point of the photograph.
