Rule of Thirds

Ever have one of those shots which seemed like a good idea at the time, and then turned out to be not so much? I have many, this is one. Meh.

[Jani M]

Ever ? One ? LOL.... I always have dozens of shots like that :)

[Marloes]

Love the tranquility!

[Glendq]

still fun to see

[Peter de Graaff]

It would be interesting to try with a totally glassy scene

[Allison Williams]

Speak for yourself; I like it!

[amy spada]

When did you shoot this?

[Debbie]

Great thinking place!

[Kerri]

I like the composition

[Nikki]

I have those shots all the time. They appear much different in your mind but sometimes that is when you end up with the best unexpected shots! While you may not like this one I think it's great but I am partial to the beach and that chair is calling my name!

[Henri Russell]

I really like your composition on this. It's a perfect Rule of Thirds for sure.

[Diane]

LOL--most of my shots are Meh! Glad you posted one that didn't meet your expectations, though...encouraging.

@amyspada This was taken a couple of years ago at the desolate Salton Sea. I'm using this project occasionally as I go through the hoards of images I'm trying to cull and organize (ha!) Last night I ran across this one and remember thinking at the time that beat up beach chair just looked so odd there with no one around, in the middle of ruin, and I just had to shoot it. Now I gotta wonder, cuz this image is so NOT what I had in my head at the time!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

@janim LOL, if only I had just one! I don't know what I was thinking most of the time ;-)

[Violeta]

I've many shots like that but I do like this one. It's very calm, peaceful, and interesting. Looks like a toy chair. And I like the shadow, a bit playful.

I do like this, but I know what you mean about what you envision, and then what you see on the screen once you take it off the card. Good for you for culling and organizing. I just decided that I have taken so many photos just in the last month that I should stop taking pics for a month and go through them!
