Today we as a class was tasked to find professional photos and find ones that had rule of thirds, leading lines, and depth of field.

The first image I found was of a dog running across a wet beach. This is my example I found of the rule of thirds. What the rule of thirds is, is where an image is split into nine different squares. The top three are where the horizon is the middle three is usually where the focus of the image is, and the bottom three is where the ground usually is. In the image with the dog the horizon is on the top three. The dog is on the left side of the middle three becoming the focus of the image.

Next up I found a nice picture of a railway that shows leading lines really well. What leading lines are is where a technique where the photo naturally draws your eyes down the photo to lead to the main subject of the image. In this photo of the railway the main subject is the sunrise being pointed to by the railway itself.

These Awesome LEGO Star Wars Photos Look Like They’ve Come Out of a Movie

Next up is depth of field, this is a technique where the main subject of the image is the only thing in focus. So the rest of the image is blury but you can still get the main idea of what’s behind the main object of the image. So the example I found is of a Lego Star Wars character running away from the Lego Empires robot walkers.
