 |   do you apply the rule of thirds on your composition? i sometimes go out of the rule to explore... anyways nice takes...  i first heard bout the "rule of thirds" in my recently-concluded photography class (Oct.11-30). my instructor was photographer/film maker leo castillo. he's going to run another workshop this nov in makati then feb2007 at the jesuit communications foundation in AdMU's loyola campus. if you're interested, i can give you his contact details since his lectures are for shutterbugs of all skill levels, walks of life and temperament, hehe! leo has a way of explaining things really quite simply, but of course, as expected, he'll be all praises for a photo he believes is very good job AND an unrelenting critic for one he thinks can stand so much more improvement in ANY category (you can glean i've experienced both! *smile*).
back to the "rule of thirds"...i agree with you. if it serves the picture, use the rule. if it doesn't, no sweat, just break it! (haha) it's really instinct, an an eye for what's beautiful, what captures and holds my interest or what has impact on me (or what i think will have an impact on other people sometimes)...mostly, it's unconscious or automatic. that's the best way i can describe how i go about shooting, without any judgment on the quality of the pics themselves. Ü i'd also have to agree with leo that the most important of all is Theme, the message of the photo, how everything ties up neatly in that picture and is shown "clearly"...
and thanks for the compliment.Ü i believe taking pictures of familiar leisure spots in fresh, unique ways is always a great way to feel we really "own" our vacations and enjoy our "trips down memory lane" later on. |

 | I don't really get the "goodby"-feeling, but I do feel a great sense of something I can't understand when I look at the sunset. It's so, so, so beautiful... |
