[NaturesPixel]

Breaking rules can be fun and sometimes it can produce some real winners
be it "angle" the "focus".. or the "rules of third"

We also wanna know what Rule you broke.. this will help people learn
Some reading you may wanna do before takling this assignment http://digital-photography-school.co...unning-images/

Well, I definitely broke the rule of thirds. It is not focused either. It is just abstract photo :-)

This breaks a lot of rules: grainy, angle, rule of thirds, unfocused. Hmm..might be worse then I thought!

"Drunken Cat"

The title is great, makes the photo really funny and interesting. I like it.

This was taken ten days too early to qualify for the assignment and I now realise that most of my photos each break at least one of the rules - I like this one anyway and it's relevant.

Angle:


- beach huts in Felpham whilst trying to watch the Perseids meteor shower.

Assignment: Breaking Rules

Accidental picture of my foot in the sand. A bit too close for the lens to capture, so it's very much out of focus. I still like it.

Sometimes the EXIF gets stripped off by Flickr, not sure why, but it still posts to the EXIF page: http://flickr.com/photo_exif.gne?id=1263399802

Wow, lot of "diagonals." You guys are using the diagonals so much to get good photos, that it can now be a considered a rule.

Using diagonals is a "rule". Or it's at least good to use them. But you don't have to break all rules. Breaking just some of them is, I think, even better.

HEY!!!!!! No changing the rules in the middle of the game! Especially, when I don't think of it first!
