Just a Photo, and a Really Simple Tip

Nothing very exciting.  Just a photo I took that I kinda liked.  I’m by no means even a mildly skilled photographer but I do enjoy taking pics in hopes that some day something magical will happen and I’ll become decent at it.  All part of my master plan to become a wildly creative genius.

I’ve done a little bit of light reading on the subject in an effort to try and understand the basics.  For me composition is what I am really working on.  In this instance I actually went back and cropped the original a bit to get something I found a bit more pleasing.

Without question the best thing I have learned is the Rule of Thirds. It certainly makes things easier to compose even for someone who doesn’t really know what they are doing.  A good tip is to check if you camera will put the 3rds overlay on your LCD display.  Makes it even easier!  Or cheat and crop after the fact.
