Photo Challenge #41

This week's challenge is of a technical nature, the study of composition... a photographer's friend, the "rule of thirds".

The challenge was to take the same photo and crop it three different ways to create three different compositions. For an example click here.

This week I decided to do two different submissions. The first image of each set is how I originally framed my photograph. I thought it would be fun to compare the cropping of a person vs. a still life.

Enjoy!

Pears

The UPS guy rang our door bell yesterday. We weren't expecting a package.

He brought up with him was a box of pears, it was for us.

The only person who I can think of who would send us a box of pears is

my mother. :)

Thanks Mom!

Challenge #40

Wow! 40 Challenges already! Well today Sam and I took a little field trip and on our way home I stopped at a cemetery we'd passed on our way to visit my aunt Jeri. It was a teeny tiny cemetery on a small hill. I was actually surprised at how recent most of the stones were. The grass was neatly cut, and there were corn fields on just ab

out every side. It was a peaceful shoot and I was happy to find some older stones at the other end. They were so worn I didn't find any dates on them. The lighting was really challenging, but I had intended on messing around in Photoshop anyway so the darkness actually worked out really well. This was my first time trying anything like this and I was happy with the outcome.

That's how many days it took for me to decide that Sam just may not be ready. I put away the Buzz Lightyear underpants and will try again in a few months.
