The Shutterbug Society; Activity #3: Ask and Answer

[ed1nburgh.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ask and Answer
Points: 10 points participatioon
Dates: NOW until Thursday, July 1 at 22:00 PDT.

Details: Since this is a photography club and we have members of all skill levels, for this activity, you're going to have the opportunity to ask or answer photography questions you've always wondered!

FOR QUESTIONS: Be sure that it is a question of substance. Asking, "What's a camera?" will not get you points, but asking something of more substance, such as "What is the rule of thirds?" or "What's the difference between digital cameras and film cameras," will count towards points. If you are only planning on asking questions, you must ask THREE questions to get participation points.

FOR ANSWERS: If you know the answer to a question you see, feel free to respond! In order to get participation points, you must answer one question with at least five, complete sentences. It is encouraged that you post an example of what you're talking about, to make your answer totally clear.

Of course, feel free to go beyond the minimum! You may ask more than three questions or answer more than one, or any combination thereof.

If you have any questions for me, please respond to the thread below!

Shoot things, legally! Join The Shutterbug Society today!

The rule of thirds involves mentally breaking an image into thirds vertically and horizontally. The end result is four lines that you should try to place points of interest in a photo. Having items of interest along these lines helps viewer naturally interact with a photo since their eyes are drawn to those spots anyway. It's especially helpful for avoiding awkward shots of people and bland landscapes. The main things to keep in mind when using the rule of thirds are where points of interest in photos naturally are and where are you placing these points along the gridlines. Here's (http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds") a link that is more helpful than I am.
