This week I was participating in a nation skill competition in Louisville, Kentucky and so my subjects were many things I saw throughout my days there. The first set of photos shows my friend Beny participating in a contest they had set up. I wish I could say I had a single clue what is was about but I really couldn't tell. The difference the rule of the thirds makes in these photos is that in the photo using the rule of thirds there is more tension as he gets ready to compete whereas the second doesn’t have the same amount of interest or draw to it.
The second and third sets of photos show pieces of artwork that were on display for a contest about making art using welding, the results were beautiful to behold, The second set shows a piece of artwork one contestant made of knights jousting. For the the rule of thirds in these photos I actually prefer the photos without it, with this work of art I wanted to see every painstakingly made nook and cranny on the the knights and I feel you can’t see that as well in the rule of thirds shot.
The third set of photos are of a tractor scene a contestant made at the welding contest. The effect the rule of thirds has in this photo gives me a mixed feeling about it. I think it does add more interest and draw to the subject, but at the same time with the many lights in the background and many objects made of a similar color to the subject, without the focus provided by the centering shot the rule of thirds doesn’t capture the subject as well as the centering shot
