Re: Rule of Thirds
Squint your eyes. The resulting overall shapes are indeed thirds... I wish the photo was wider... you'd get more of the effect this would seem to lend itself to.. IMHO.

Thank Ernst. Sorry to be so late; missed this. MattErnst-Ulrich Schafer wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 4:27 pmWonderful image Matt. Your use of "Rule of Thirds" works quite well here.

Agree. I will stop cropping and post the natural size for a while just to see what I see. Thanks. Matt

Thanks Vinny. I always learn from people's replies. Never thought of the color effect explicitly, though. Helps. Mattvinnylepes wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 7:44 pmThe horizon is where you divide one third--but the color of the sky extends below that, so from a color standpoint the top third is larger and the middle third is smaller. But who said they should be even? I think they are beautifully balanced.

Ah, the mysteries of geometry and the trompe of the l'oeil, or something like that. And the density of color and the dance of the grass. All joining and diverging. A happy waltz. Thanks.

Chuck gave a good explanation and I won't dispute his expertise - he knows his stuff!! For my less trained eye, it is a little misleading because my eye counts four or even six elements, some relatively equivalent and some not. So it's a stack of unequal parts and I have to use my objective mind to force it back into thirds.Matt Quinn wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 6:14 pmIn Lightroom, on my MacBook Pro screen, this is evenly divided into thirds, sand to grass, grass to horizon, horizon to top. But my eye doesn't agree. Thoughts? Matt

I like this one, especially for a desktop background, but there's something more here, something ancient!
