A couple days ago, I tried using a DLSR camera for the first time. I went outside to take pictures with the goal of practicing using the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds in photography is used to create interesting photos. It uses information found through research that when someone looks at a photo, their eyes are drawn to four specific areas on the picture. To find these points, you must split the picture into thirds vertically and into thirds again horizontally using lines. The points your eyes are drawn to are the four places where the lines would intersect. Knowing that photographers using the rule of thirds should put the subject of the photo at one of those intersections. After countless tries and a bit of wondering around I returned with a few photos I could use. Today, I took the photo into Photoshop and made some slight adjustments to the curve, sharpness, and the contrast, which really made the colours of the picture more vibrant and parts of the image clearer. I think that this follows the rule of thirds because the subject of the image, the bench and the blue crate falls on the top right intersection. I guess for a first attempt, this is pretty good.
