Rule or not it's still fun
Good One Boberic..Have you any Wool?
Thanks Photogirl..Judy the owner of the store had no idea what they were used for. She did say that they were very old.
Read Ian Plant's book " Visual Flow" and you will better understand all these rules.
"Any so-called "rule of composition" can be successfully broken." In this book he goes on to say....."you will soon learn that there isn't any such thing as the "rules" at all: there are only compositions that work, and those that don't."
He addresses the "rule of thirds" the "rule of odds" etc. Well worth reading to better understand the rules and how to achieve a successful composition.
You can get the book in eBook format on this web site.
Kind of a tough challenge. I like it. :) Some of mine.

The rule of odds states that images are more appealing when there are an odd number of subjects (I'm not sure what you do when you have 4 grandkids--who do you leave out?). While this is not so easy when shooting "real life" it is easy to do when composing still life photos. I went through my archives and find that I shoot alot of single subjects, but I did find some that seem to fit this rule of composition. I'd like to see your shots and get your ideas on whether this rule of composition really works or not! Have fun.

Wow!! These all are super amazing!!
While I do tend to follow this "rule", for me it is primarily the angles of the composition. These are not the most stellar images, but they illustrate the topic, I think. I really like your crane silhouettes image! Thanks for hosting!
