The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines. The guidelines proposed that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.
Seeing as today is Sunday and I didn't want to change out of my pajamas I asked David to help me trick Harvey with treats to corporate. (Hence the mouth watering in the picture) so when looking at this picture Harvey is my subject. The two horizontal lines sit at the top of the brick wall and the middle below Harvey's ears and mouth. The vertical lines are intersecting with the horizontal line at Harvey's eye.
So in this photo we can see that Harvey is the main subject but you can also see the what's going on in the background. This would work better if maybe we would have went to say the park and had more activity in the background. This isn't really a "rule" but more of a guideline and can make for better pictures. I will keep that in mind when taking more photographs.
Tomorrow class we will pick up with day 3 :) hope you enjoyed it.
