This past Monday, Hiro's Photo Composition Challenge started, beginning with the Rule of Thirds - a basic photography composition challenge that most beginner photographers learn. I use a 3x3 grid overlayed on all of my photos when lining them up, but I can't say that I actively focus on the "rule".
Here are some photos I took to demonstrate the rule of thirds. I will be uploading all of my photos to a single Flickr album but will be making individual posts highlighting specific photos. Click through on the photos to see the full size.
All photos this week were taken with my Samsung SM-G996W main camera; specific settings are noted in the captions. There was minimal Lightroom editing done except in one or two cases.
