Are you tired of your photos feeling unbalanced? If you apply the ‘Rule of Thirds’, you will find that your photos will begin to be more pleasing to the eye. The rule of thirds is not only used by photographers, but all other artists alike. It works like this: imagine your photo divided into thirds both vertically and horizontally thus creating 9 equal rectangles. Your goal is to place the subject of your photo at the intersection of these lines. Or, you can arrange your subjects within one of the third bands – either vertically or horizontally. IE., place your subject in the top third or furthest left third bands. Avoid placing your subjects directly in the middle of any of the individual quadrants. IE., right in the middle or top right. In the photo below, the child’s face is the focus of the photograph. As you can see, his face falls in the upper right intersection. Rules are sometimes meant to be broken however. After you get the hang of this technique, feel free to experiment and break the rules!
We spent part of our day yesterday at the Monon Center Home Show Spectacular. Neither of us have worked a trade show for quite some time, but we found our stride pretty quickly. While traffic was fairly light, we received a good bit of interest. In case you weren’t there, here’s how our booth looked. 

The following people nabbed the free session & complimentary 11×14 offer: Kristi P., Seema M. and Maureen B. It paid to act quickly and we’re looking forward to your sessions. Also, we hope to see you at our booth at the Monon Center’s Home Party Spectacular on Saturday, March 8th from 10am-2pm. We’re looking forward to a great turnout and meeting everyone face-to-face.
