Exposaroonie Photo Challenge - Rule of Thirds

If you haven't checked it out already, we have a new article posted over here, with a few simple tips on how to improve your photography. One of those tips is a basic rule of thumb when it comes to photography... Rule of Thirds.


Now, we know as well as anyone that rules are sometimes meant to be broken.. but for the sake of this week's challenge... don't break this rule! ... Or any other rules of this challenge while you are at it! (See the rules below)

You can photograph anything you'd like... we just don't want to see the subject or the (if a landscape shot) horizon in the center of the frame - and of course, it has to be a NEW picture, dated today or later.

Holy Moly... just what ARE you going to do with all of that freedom?

...hopefully, great things. Come on. Impress us. We dare you.

This week's fabulous prize comes to courtesy of MountPhoenix's Etsy shop... Mosey on over and peruse her funky, handmade jewelry collection.
