Know your Basics - Composition (the manip way)The Rule of Thirds is another one of those expressions that you have probably heard before somewhere but aren't quite sure what it means. This article strives to shed some light on this rule as well as on how to use lines and shapes in your compositions to lead the viewer's eye to the important bits. There are some compositional rules and pointers that no artist should go without knowing!
The Technical Part
Rule of Thirds
Thankfully this time, there are no hours upon hours of dry reading to be done because the Rule of Thirds itself can be explained rather easily:
"The Rule of Thirds states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections." (from the wikipedia article)
Or - summed up in one image:

Frankfurt Nights IIIby `kuschelirmel

Photography / Architecture / Exterior

Third in a series of Frankfurt city impressions shot yesterday at the Luminale - that is a week-long event held yearly where the city is illuminated in a special way. This includes lighting up buildings with coloured light beams (as at the Alte Oper) as well as having light installations on the facade of buildings as seen here on the right at the Zeil Gallerie, where all the lights were constantly moving. Furthermore, there are light installations all over the city that are scattered in between buildings on public plazas.

In this shot you can see the Alte Oper (translated: "Old Opera").
_{The text on the facade says "Dem Wahren Schönen Guten" which translates as "the Good, the True and the Beautiful"}

The longer I'm here the more I like the city.
