Breaking the Rule of Thirds – Friday’s Pictures
Friday’s Pictures is a recurring topic that features excellent photos by several photo artists and it revolves around a theme each week.
This week the theme is Breaking the Rule of Thirds.
The rule of thirds is one of the first things you became aware as a young photographer or visual artist. It’s a rule that helps you in the composition of your pictures to make them instantly more pleasing to the eye by arranging the elements of the picture along some of the four lines, instead of just centering the subject.
This picture ilustrates this concept very well:

These next photos, although not abandoning altogether the concept of rule of thirds, are great examples of beautiful pictures that somewhat break the rule. Enjoy!

Transparency, freshness and calmness are the words that pop in my head when I see this crisp clean photo of a beautiful beach, the sky and the surf.

This one reminds me of my childhood in the beach and how fun it was playing with my sister in the surf.
Amazing back lit photo where you can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the children even without seeing their faces.

Love the boats. The turquoise water and the background mountains instantly send me to a tropical island on holidays, even if for just a second. A girl can dream, right?!
Friday’s Pictures: Moving in a Train Station
Friday’s Pictures is a recurring topic that features excellent photos by several photo artists and it revolves around a theme each week.
This week the theme is Moving in a Train Station, be that a train or a human.
I find trains a fascinating subject. Train stations are one of my favorite places to photograph. Strangers in a hurry, moving trains, tearful rendezvous… You will never run out of subjects.

Beautiful use of light and motion. The hint of the woman makes it for me.

This photo is not framed nor in focus, yet it makes use of that to give us the sense of urgency of the stranger trying to catch the train. Love the gloomy overall feel given by the black and white. Perfect example of a good photo breaking many rules.

Another example of a gloomy visual feeling made possible with texture, desaturation and framing. Makes us feel like we are spying the lonely voyage of this stranger. Notice the use of a square frame to emphasize the high ceiling and give the traveler a more fragile look.

Love the shapes and the neon color contrast with the black background.

It’s part of a flower, that much I can tell. Love the composition and bright colors.

The fractal texture does it for me. It’s amazing the things we usually miss with our bare eyes.

This macro photo of the human eye has great colors and light.
Something that we can learn from these photos: attention to detail, awareness of graphic composition and very good lighting make great photos.
