Bloggography Challenge – The Rule of Thirds

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 by Lolli 24 Comments

Before we get to this week’s challenge, here’s one of the photos from our last challenge that stood out to me:

Grammie Diaries

Exposure compensation, by Grammie Diaries. I just love this shot! Check out Manic Mother’s post to see who she is featuring today.  In two weeks, we’ll be featuring a photo from today’s Challenge. Could it be you?

For this week’s Challenge on the Rule of Thirds, I put the Rule to good use while taking my family’s yearly Spring pictures. Yes, I stick my kids in a big basket filled with eggs and make them smile. Every. Single. Year. You’d think I was torturing them, making them do this year after year.

Amazingly, because Cousin Chick was staying over this weekend, I was able to pull off the Easter basket pictures with minimal whining (although I do fully admit to whining myself while picking up and putting back together about 300 eggs, 5 times).

See how I applied the Rule of Thirds to these photos (remember to picture the tic-tac-toe board over the picture). In each of these images, the face is at the crossing of two lines.

I’d love to see the pictures that you have captured this week. How did you do with the Rule of Thirds? Post a picture or two, link your post to the MckLinky below, and be sure to add a button or link back here so that we can get more participants. Click here to grab my button! And don’t forget that you can add your picture to the Flickr group as well. You don’t even need a blog to participate; you can just leave the link to your picture in the Flickr group.

    I love traditions that involve pictures. And some day my kids will love and appreciate it, too. ;)

    Oh, yeah, it was a challenge to keep those eggs under control…but the pics are always worth it!

    I’ve been fitting my kids into that same basket since they were babies. You should see the pics I got of my lanky 9 year old in it! :)

    Ness’s pictures turned out the cutest of them all. AJ had a billion different silly faces. When I get around to it, I’ll load everything up onto SmugMug so you can see them!

    Hee! Hee! I love the egg filled basket and can only imagine what a pita it is to chase eggs everywhere. I love your older daughter’s gap toothed smile :)

    You know… I had to go take a peek at your article on the rule of thirds to find out what it is! That said? It seems I’ve been doing this without actually realizing it. *Smile*

    Terrific explanation by the way… and absolutely AMAZING Easter photos.

    Hi there. I love your blog and just discovered it. Hello – where have I been?!
    I was reading your bio and had to laugh – I’m from the Pacific NW, went to college in Idaho, lived in Utah and Maryland and have 5 kids. I love photography and seriously, go thrift shopping each week. I even have a weekly blog post about my finds.
    I can’t wait to go through your blog some more! Maybe I’ll even post a picture one of these days.
    You are awesome.
    I’ll be following!
    Thanks,
    Laura
