Bloggography Challenge – The Rule of Thirds

by 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:

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.

  9. 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!

  12. Great tip! I love these photos. :) I’d love to join your Bloggography Challenge one week. Is it possible to include it as part of my Wordless Wednessday post?

  18. 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
