Breaking Rule #3: Rule of thirds

You won't believe how difficult this one has been for me. I just went out specifically to try and break the rule, but when I got back and looked at the results, guess where the point of intersts was .... thats right ... bang on 1/3 or 2/3. Going to have to go out again this evening and try again.
Sorry about the subject matter and the crappy focus - handheld macros are not easy - hope there are no
Arachnaphobes out there ;-)

Having said all that I quickly ran back to my PAD project and pulled up this just to prove that I am able to do it ;-)


OK I went out into the garden again this evening, aremed with a flash and the 100mm macro lens. This is one of the results of trying to break the rule of thirds.



Also I tried one of the images from later in FP's book - wonderful ;-)

It IS amazing isn't it? How we've programmed ourselves to use the rule of thirds. I have read that this occurs naturally, that's why it helps photos (appeals to others) composed using this rule. I found it quite challenging as well.

Don't know that I would like to get quite in a spiders face as you have with this shot! ;^)

BTW - what is your PAD? Photo a day?
