PR: Rule of Thirds
Okay ladies, for the past 2 weeks our goal was to explore the rule of thirds in our compositions. Let's see what you came up with!
Next up: Depth of Field (DOF)
A good overview:

Re: PR: Rule of Thirds
This week I was exploring using my speedlight as a slave (off camera flash) so I thought I would throw in a little RoT in my composition to use for this challenge
SS: 1/125
ISO:400
Aperture: f/2
Focal Length: 50mm (50mm prime)
Flash: 24mm focal length @ 1/16 power
Adding a little Macro to the mix:
SS: 1/200
ISO:400
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 300mm + NO. 6T (2.9 diopter) stacked
Flash: 75mm focal length @ 1/4 power
F-32 Shutterspeed 1/1000 ISO 1000
F-10 Shutter Speed 1/400 ISO 200
Here are mine. Certainly aren't my favorite pictures ever, but when it is 4* in the wind chill, you just snap quickly and get back in the car!
43mm, f11, 1/200, ISO100
51mm, f9, 1/2000, ISO400

a whole extra week and I still didn't get a new pic for this one!
Paige - that first one looks like a great spot to do some long exposure shots of the water coming in around the rocks!
Mary - that looks like the south pier!
Kara - haha, it's hard to find time to pick up the camera with a LO around isn't it?! When I get a few minutes of "free" time, I just want to play with or hold and cuddle with C!
Here's what I got and I think I finally had a bit of an a-ha! moment this evening while looking at these pics and my bump pics from this week regarding setting my f-stop. All my bump pics look OOF to me and I think I'm setting my f-stop too low limiting what comes in focus due to DH's distance from us. Did I say that right?!
Anyhow, here's my practice shots from the past week with my favorite subject as of late (who doesn't want to sit still for shoots). I shot in Av mode:
ISO 100, 47mm, f/5.6, 1/800
I'm still trying to learn action shots with her-
ISO 100, 24mm, f/5, 1/400
And a landscape I took from our front yard when doing the Two Peas lessons:
ISO 6400, 18mm, f/16, 1/4000
