Photo Challenge #41

Challenge #41
I thought we'd try another technical challenge this week. This week's challenge is inspired by a post I read over at Pioneer Woman Photography, a great photography blog!

The Challenge:
The Rule of Thirds

Submit three photographs of the same subject demonstrating the rule of thirds. You can either take three photos, cropping your image differently, or take one picture and crop it three different ways.

Enjoy!

Okay--I had a lot of fun with this one. I took 3 different pictures, starting with the farthest away and getting closer. The middle one is my favorite--I have it set as the background on my laptop! I think the first one it too broad and the garage adds a distraction. The last one is too close and she is too centered. Thanks for "forcing" me to learn a little bit more about the technical aspect of photography.

For those of you who don't know, Lilah (the dog in the pictures), has been very sick. She was in the ER for the weekend and she just came home last night and I took these pictures today. I'm so glad to have her home! The doctors believe there is something going on in her brain, but we can't afford the testing for that, so we are working with medication and we'll see how we do! =)

Perfection through the eyes of a new aunt...


Addison Karrie Hansen joined this wonderful world on Thursday October 1, 2009 at 2:36 pm. She was 7 lbs 3 oz and 19.5 inches long. She's healthy as a horse and just amazing! I'm so happy for Phil and Amanda (my brother and sister-in-law). Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful blessing!

angles or different distances

Have fun!!!!
My laptop decided to take a ride down the pooper a few months ago, so we've been using Scott's laptop. Well, this challenge inspired me to pull mine out of the closet and see about getting it fixed! By the way, does anybody know of anybody that can fix a broken down computer for less than $100??
