I try 2/3's beer- 1/3rd equipment-- most of the time it doesn't work- but it was fun trying- I think

Now you know why some of your photos may be out of focus -
"Don't drink and shoot pictures"
If you do, you might end up with a crooked wine glass - as is seen by this photo!

If we look at the field of vision of one eye it is about 1/3 on the nose side and 2/3 at the side. True the justification for rule of 1/3 has long been based on the "golden rule of nature", shells etc... but it may be something as simple as how we see. Shut one eye look straight forward at a spot, peripheral vision is 1/3 2/3s. Just a thought outside the accepted box.
Abby, the wine glasses have inspired me. Many artists are know by a repeated theme. A friend and professor of art Richmond Virginia painter frogs on Lilly pads,,, over and over with varriations... like the politician who wore one suite (duplicates) he was recognizable. I will try to photograph wine goblets in many poses... wish me luck.

I use the rule of fifths for focus. If you can recognize the subject after a fifth, then it must be in focus!
What a shame about the crooked glass in front of a beautiful background!

Looks like he is a victim of this administration, and had to downsize from his former location as the sign in the background indicates.

Interesting observation. I was out in the garden this morning trying to visualize how I wanted to shoot a flower and realized that closing one eye also gives me a much better concept of what the lens is going to capture!

I thought the rule of thirds was one third of your money for cameras and equipment, one third for alcohol and one third wasted on other stuff.
Now that is a rule, bring on the alcohol figure the other 2 out in the morning.
Keep the bar tender near at hand!

But you just said that "Rules are meant to broken." Now there are exceptions? :lol:no drinking and flying!
Wish she would make up her mind, first she says "no drinking and flying" then she says "no flying and drinking"
I am so confused.
