I must check out my archives and see if I have any shots that could fit this rule in my 100's waiting to be posted!

(And I think I'll change mine to that for a bit. ) thanks for bringing our attention to new things.

I was taking (another) photo of a flower when along came a lizard...I called her the Green Eyed Lady lol. Anyway, this golden triangle should put a whole new spin on things!

It's similar to rule of thirds, but with a little more wiggle room. :) Can't wait to try this out!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153095149911030832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-63135834771021808732016-05-18T12:27:53.030-07:002016-05-18T12:27:53.030-07:00Yes, thanks for the info Dotti!

(1) Because it is new information I've never heard or read before today, and (2) it draws me in just looking at the first template. The straight grid of thirds seems so stiff and doesn't let me compose a photo as easily as I see the other one doing....the golden rule is more flexible in my mind. So, Thank you so much for sharing this technique today! I'm super excited, as Terri says, a new thing will motivate us. I love learning new things about photography. This one is priceless!!

Will definitely be reading the DSP article. But your post has reminded me that whenever I'm in a photography slump, one thing that is sure to bring me out of it is to try something new -- a new composition tool, like this one; a new focusing technique; a new type of lighting, etc. I think we tend to get a little complacent when we've been practicing the art of photography for a long time and it loses it's punch, as do our photos sometimes. When we have to think and work at it, it becomes much more interesting, if at times frustrating! But out of that frustration comes growth and that is always a good thing. terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.com
