Label: Utilizing the Frame/ Rule of Thirds Artist Name: John Lund Photo Title: Lion Standing Atop a Cliff Date Taken: N/A Web Address/URL: [] Out of all the pictures I chose above, all from the GettyImages photo resource off of the wikispaces, two of them really stand out to me. Although I love all of the pictures, my two favorites would be Building A Sand Castle photographed by Maria Pavlova and the Bokeh Pumpkins photographed by Moaan. These pictures really capture my attention because they are the most creative to me. Building A Sand Castle uses the rule of thirds because nothing in the photograph is centered. The little girl is up front and then, instead of her being the only thing in the photo and off to the side, there is a sand castle out of focus. It really moves your eye across the page and isn't boring because it isn't dead center. As for the Bokeh Pumpkins by Moaan, it's really on the other side of the spectrum. Whereas Building A Sand Castle moves your eye across the page and moves your eye around, Bokeh Pumpkins only has one thing to focus on. It isn't dead center and is off all the way to the right side of the photo. It also has other aspects of photography because it has light and dark. The rest of the photo is black and the lights are bright compared to the contrast of the dark. I really love all of the pictures I chose for different reasons. The lion, autumn trees, and lotus on the pond are beautiful pictures that aren't dead center either. The lion and lotus flower are more like Bokeh Pumpkins and are off to one side or another of the photograph. The picture Autumn Beechwoods compares to Building a Sand Castle because your eye moves all around the picture and demonstrates the rule of thirds to create a beautiful well shot photograph. All five of the images I selected from GettyImages were nice shots and perfectly exemplified the rule of thirds.
