I just bought a digital SLR last week so I thought I would share a couple of mine with you. Not particularly good but I thought I would share anyway. Here is Benny my cat:

There are some talented folk on here for sure, wow at several of these photos!

 

Here are a few of my favourites from the month of travelling I did around SE Asia this summer, best trip of my life! Sadly these are hosted on facebook so have lost a little bit of the clarity!

:lol: Chris - I haven't got a scooby when it comes to photography... I point and shoot at things I like the look of - take loads of the same thing and eventually something semi-decent comes out :lol:

What's the 2/3 rule?

 

:lol::lol:

 

The 2/3 rule is a very basic one. If you split a photo into 2/3, say a beach scene for example, the sky should take up 2/3 or the sand should take up 2/3 of the photo. You should have a setting on your camera that puts up a grid. That's for this rule. Give it a go next time you get a nice sunset :thumbs:

Edit.. opps did not see chris' reply sorry lol but heres another now any way lol :thumbs:

 

Vik, for The Rule Of Thirds. If you imagine 2 Vertical and 2 horizontal lines on your view finder like a noughts and crosses grid.

You want to place points of interest along these lines so they are not bang in the middle.

Doing this creates a balanced photograph. If for instance you were taking a photo of a light house at the end of a rock or cliff, you should try and line the light house up with say the vertical line on your left.

 

If you and shooting landscapes if you have foreground interest place the horizon on the top horizontal line. If you have more back ground interest place the horizon on the bottom line to show off beautiful skies.

 

The Rule Of Thirds is just a photography guide there are time when it can be broken and still create good images :)

See my location also ... and then google it to 3 decimal places ... it's all about proportion that is pleasing to the eye

 

Edited for clarity ... my location was 1.618 when I posted this
