December 12th

Today we will be starting our unit on digital photography. We will start by looking at photography rule #1: The rule of thirds.

(after presentation) 

You are going to practise using the rule of thirds by CROPPING photos and improving their composition.
1. Click on each thumbnail to download the full size version of each photo.
2. Use iPhoto to crop each photo in TWO DIFFERENT WAYS using the rule of thirds. BE  SURE TO USE THE THUMBNAIL VERSION OF THIS!
3. Upload your finished photos to your blog with the title "Rule of Thirds".





Once you have finished cropping the above photos, find 2 great example of the rule of thirds using Google Image search and post them to your blog.  Please explain why the photos follow the rule of thirds. For better quality photos, go to advanced search-and change the image size to a min of 1024 x 768. Instead of searching "rule of thirds" trying looking up Ansel Adams or National Geographic for some great examples of photos. 

If you are finished everything, check out the National Georgraphic Website and under photography, look at their "photos of the days". Tell me which one if your favourite, and why (3 sentences).
