Okay… important stuff first: Photography competition with $50 Coles Myer group gift vouchers up for grabs!
At Peninsula Orthodontics, we are lucky enough to have a very creative team working with us; 3 of our Oral Health Therapists (George, Campbell and I) and 2 of our nurses (Linda and Ash) love photography – you might have seen some of their work on our Facebook page and Instagram feed!
We know that a lot of our patients are very creative too, so we will be hosting photography competitions throughout the year! The theme of this competition is LANDSCAPES. The Mornington Peninsula is full of beautiful landscapes, so get out there and capture them! Bonus points if you can incorporate the rule of thirds into your photo.
What is rule of thirds?
The “Rule of thirds” is one of the most commonly used photography rules which aid in creating an aesthetic image. Some people will do this naturally, however, it’s really easy to learn and is of huge benefit to anyone interested in photography as it applies to all genres and not just landscapes!
(I might add, all rules can be broken, so it is not something that must be used all the time)
How to do it?
In your head, break the image down into thirds vertically and horizontally, like this:
The reason why this is done is that often images which are not perfectly centred are naturally more visually appealing.
Now, when you frame your picture put the interesting things at either the lines or where the lines intersect. With landscape photography, the 2 tips I can give you is:
- Put the horizon on one of the thirds, either the top or bottom horizontal
- Find something else interesting in the foreground – Jetty, bushes/trees/plants, interesting shaped rocks etc.
Here are some examples and ideas for places to visit on a weekend!
