Moderators John317 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Moderators Posted September 29, 2008 What amazes me is that there are coffins.....metal coffins.....full of dead bones.... metal coffins housing dead bones.... why? 'Cause, I'spose, people pay out big bucks to keep the worms off their mommies and daddies. Really, it is probably because of the funeral and mortuary business. Those coffins cost a lot of money, it keeps those companies running-- kinda like their bread and butter, so to speak.

Amelia Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Oh I like both of those. But I have a question about the countryside pic. I had always heard that one should never split a photo in half with the horizon or place an object right down the middle? In that photo it all works. Why? Is it because there are no straigt lines?

Moderators John317 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Moderators Posted October 4, 2008 Oh I like both of those. But I have a question about the countryside pic. I had always heard that one should never split a photo in half with the horizon or place an object right down the middle? In that photo it all works. Why? Is it because there are no straigt lines? The rule of thumb which you mention is a good one to remember, and you rarely want to break it, but there are always exceptions to every rule. Artists, including photographers, like to play with rules and see how many they can break and still create a workable image. There are so many factors to consider. (Meyerowitz's picture, "Blue Hour," posted below, is an example of a successful image which breaks a major rule in photography.) Surprisingly enough, this picture actually does follow the rule of thumb. Notice that there is more sky than earth, and the road is off-center. It begins in the lower right quadrant and leads up to a point that is slightly right of center. You also have the hill rising on the left which keeps the picture from being static. The hill at its highest point is almost exactly half way between the top and bottom of the frame, and this may give the impression that the photograph is breaking the rule. If there was a hill on both sides instead of the little valleys, it would be far less interesting to look at. Even a slight difference in these things can make the difference between a static and dynamic picture. As you pointed out, the fact that there are no straight lines is critical to making this photograph the successful, beautiful one it is.
