CAPTURE Challenge!

Hello friends!

Laura and I enjoyed every minute with our wonderful class last month :)

We want to continue having fun with ya'll, so this week begins our "continuing education"!

Twice a month, we will post a challenge for you to complete and send in. (email HERE)

This week's is:

Rule of Thirds

1. You may send in up to 4 photos, each one must include the Rule of Thirds.
2. 2 photos must have the subject take up 1/3rd of the frame, 2 photos must have the subject take up 2/3rds of the frame.
3. 2 photos must be of a landscape with the horizon on the upper or lower third.

Send in your photos by October 14th, so we can enter them here on the blog!
Each photo will be accompanied by a simple critique, and you will get a more in-depth critique in a personal email, if you so desire :)


Take your time and have fun! Email us or leave a comment if you have questions!



Rule of Thirds:
Mentally divide the frame (what you see in the viewfinder) into thirds,
and place your subject on one of those third "lines".
The four intersections of the lines are called "sweet spots".
Putting the most important part of your subject on a sweet spot gets you extra points :)

...ok...well, acutally, it is simply a place in a photo that brings order to your composition...
...we like the first idea better....more points = more fun :D

If you have not taken a CAPTURE class but would like to participate in the challenges, drop us a line and we will set you up!
