Workshop 1: Rule of thirds

We decided on our first topic: rule of thirds. Apparently this is a very basic funda and does not need knowledge about technical stuff.

Here’s the explanation

One additional interesting point: Place eyes in upper third (http://photoinf.com/General/ITRC_UMT/Composition_Basics_-_How_to_Get_Good_Pictures/Rule_of_Thirds.htm)

Note: I’ve resized all images to smaller sizes and placed a small dot on each photo to show the intersection-point that I was targeting for the subject. I’ve shown the grid in some of the pics. Used Pixia to draw the grid.
