| Sleepeasy commented on 07.31.07 | | Thanks rk, very illuminating. I will endeavour to find you this Golden Standard I learned about in school that applies to 17th Century architecture as well as to the work of Piet Mondriaan. How was the Third Man? Did he conform by perching on one of the intersections?

| robert k commented on 07.31.07 | | The rule states an image can be divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines. The four points formed by the intersections of these lines can be used to align features in the photograph. The concept is that by aligning a photograph with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the photo than simply centering the feature would. Of course rules are meant to be stretched and even broken. this isn't an exact rule of thirds (i look at the space above the dash as occupying two-thirds of the frame) but i still stand by my choice not to crop out the dash (either all of it or some of it) |

| Sleepeasy commented on 07.30.07 | | The golden standard is used in architecture. Maybe they are the same thing. Can you explain the rule of thirds? |
|
|
| robert k commented on 07.30.07 | | the rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in photography and other visual arts such as painting. |

|
| Sleepeasy commented on 07.30.07 | | Are you referring to the Golden Standard? That's fifths, no? |

| robert k commented on 07.30.07 | | disagree again. the rule of thirds rules. |
