This project worked when you didn’t stand against the wall because there is nowhere for your eye to travel to. At the beginning of this project I did not really understand the point of it because I thought it was very confusing, but by the end I understood and got many good pictures. The lines were the most important part of the project because without the lines you would not be able to do this. While doing this project we had to line up this picture with the rule of thirds lines and in the intersections.

In this project I really thought I wasn’t going to do well but it really wasn’t that hard. Some hard parts were getting the picture just right such as having the viewer looking at the picture and making there eyes wonder around the picture. What was easy was using the lines because the lines help you keep the picture straight and having a little part of the picture to be on one thing and the other part to be something else.

For the Rule of Thirds project, I found it worked best to place the people and objects in simple locations with simple background, so your eye can focus on the main object in the pictures. I found that it did not work to have people standing right against the wall, because then your eye had nowhere to travel to look for the person in the photo. Before we did this project, I thought it would be pretty simple to take these pictures. After we started taking the pictures, I found it to be actually very hard. For the picture on the left, I wanted Anna Claire to be one third of the image, so I put her on the far right vertical line so she stood out against the stairs. For the picture on the right, I wanted the main focus to be on the camera, so I put the lens on the intersection of the top line and the line to the far left.

The objective of this project was to take a picture and make the object in the center of attention by putting it on the intercept of the thirds grid. The difficult part was to align the picture so it looks centered at the same time putting the object on the intercept. The easy part was finding places since there’s a lot of places with open ends. The photos I took are below.

Going outside provided a lot of opportunities, but sometimes it was hard to find people to be in the photos. Originally I thought I would be very bad at this project, but I think I did pretty good. I used the lower line of the three a lot of the time, along with the other lines on the side.
