Basic Photography Tip #1

 
Below is the not-really-true-proportion picture of the rule of thirds.  It has the picture marked off into thirds.  The rule of thirds is that, for a good vocal point, put the main focus of you picture where the lines intersect.  This makes for a more interesting, balanced picture than one with a centered focal point.  (the vertical lines are wwwayyy off!  Sorry!)
Which of the two picture below is 'nicer'?  Take a minute and look at them both.  Why did you pick the one you did?  Don't blow past this. Think about why you like one better than the other.   
Both are focused, have flowers with dew drops, and are color edited.  I know opinions vary, but even though i like the color better in the first one, the second is my favorite.  Why?  it seems more balanced.  It follows the rule of thirds.  The one on the top has the flower centered, the bottom picture has the flower on the side.  See what a difference it makes?
 
Well, i hope you found this helpful!  I will post more on the 'rule of thirds' at a later date. 
 
P.S.  This blog is still under construction.  Sorry if colored don't match well for a while.:)
