Unit 3 : Blog 2










Andrew Goodall
On your blog site, have examples of people, places, and things (three images of each), with the rule of thirds grid drawn over them.

Putting an image into  rule of thirds gives it a more appealing look. Even though the space is  not necessarily filled, the image to the left of the tractor is appealing to one  humans  eye. Rule of thirds has the same effect on most if not all pictures.

    What Do Want to Accomplish ?

    In your first blog entry, write about what you want to accomplish in Photo 5-6. Include at least one of your best works from Photo 3-4. Also write about the camera you are using and anything new you learned about it.
    By taking photography 5-6 I hope to become a better photographer in general. Meaning that I hope to improve my subject matter to make my picture more interesting and  improve composition to make the picture more appealing to other peoples eyes. The picture to the right is a picture i took last year at one of the football games. This year I am using a Canon Rebel T3.
