Rule of Thirds: Landscape
Hey Ms. Y, here is my landscape for the rule of thirds. I also took this one this morning using the same settings as the portrait.
Sarah, this is a beautiful shot. To maximize the rule of thirds you may want to crop the photo, though. The bee is your focal point. That's were your eye wanders to when you look at the photo. If you could center the bee right over the upper left intersection (of your imaginary grid), that would really make your eyes feel comfortable as you view the photo. I love the fact that you have a shallow depth of field. It really helps to make your subject pop-out. Remind me what camera you have--did you set it to the Macro setting? And is ISO 250 the smallest ISO on your camera? Since you were outside in the sunlight you want to have the lowest ISO (which is actually going to give you the least "noise" in your photo). We can talk about this in class. Great job!
