THERE ARE NO RULES #5<\/strong><\/p>\n

OK, here’s the last in my arbitrary list of 5 traditional photographic rules meant to broken on the 21st day of the 12th month of the 21st year of the 21st century: <\/p>\n

“Don’t Place The Horizon In The Middle Of The Frame”. <\/p>\n

Another version of this is, “Never put your subject in the middle of the frame”. That’s another compositional rule to break, unless you’re shooting for a full-bleed double page spread! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rules about composition don’t always work for every subject. Using the rule of thirds is often recommended. It’s nice, but it’s usually just the beginning, not the final destination. <\/p>\n

Each photographer has their own compositional key within them. Your vision has a balance within the camera’s frame that only you know is right. It usually take about 5 years of regular shooting to find this for yourself. <\/p>\n

It takes continual and consistent practice to become a really good photographer. Having a mentor and a great designer to work with your stuff is a gift at any time during your career, but especially early on. The main thing is to keep having fun! <\/p>\n

Here are some more examples of my automotive compositions used on the web and in print: <\/p>\n
