When we are framing, must we apply the rule of thirds to make interesting photos? Or is the technique of framing alone enough to create an interesting photo?
Thanks for taking time to post your question. The Rule of Thirds composition strategy is only one strategy among many. As you continue making photographs your signature style will continue to evolve. There may be some occasions when you prefer the subject to be in the exact center of the frame. Other times, you might even wish to CROP the main subject in a way that catches the viewer and piques their interest. Each photo op is different and each photographer is different. The more you learn about composition options and the more you take photographs, the more you will succeed in creating a photographic layout that conveys the impression to the viewer that you intend. Thank you again for writing in.
I had always thought of framing in conjunction with construction or tabletop or wall frame for a photograph or poster. Using scenery as a frame for the topic of a photo is a new insight for me.
