65. 365 Challenger Day2.

 I have no idea how difficult this is going to be but I will persevere. I passed my diploma in photography a couple of years ago but many years back in the days of film photography I completed a college course so I should know what I am doing but! as with most things in life I have strong views on the supposed rules of photography. Let's start with the most common one.

1. Rule of thirds

This states that objects such as the horizon should be a  third of the way down or two thirds and other objects of interest should be placed where the the gird of thirds lines..same as the noughts and crosses grid... intersect as this is deemed to be the most agreeable view. I don't agree most of the photos that I place on facebook that have a high "like" count are usually the ones where the subject is on the centre of the photo???

2. The "Golden Hour"

This is supposed to be the best time to take landscape photo's? again I much prefer the blues of later in the day rather than the "warm glow" of early morning or late afternoon to me those photos always seem so false, and again the likes I get on Facebook or usually for the photos taken in the middle of the day.

These rules I believe were made probably centuries ago and probably need updating..i will now get hate mail for that but I don't care LOL

Just to prove that you can take a photo of just about anything and make it interesting, This stone wall is made up of various sizes of stone of subtle different shades of colour and it presents an interesting pattern.
