Get-Pushed 506 #2
This isn't symmetrical. There's not a vast amount of negative space. It doesn't fit into the rule of thirds, nor does it fit the rule of odds. I figure that this has enough photography rules avoided, and yet is still pleasing to me anyway, to meet the challenge of breaking the rules.
I've always admired the women who are able to do simple household tasks using power tools. A long time ago I had a drill and put up things like curtain rods, etc. by myself. When I got married, my husband sort of scoffed at my cheap drill and took over those chores. Now he's not here to do them, so I'm trying to be more independent. In the long run it's cheaper too and I trust the person doing these tasks - except for their experience.
The person doing these tasks must have some experience because they chose craftsman tools. They must have a little bit of wisdom as well! I think this photo definitely succeeds in breaking all the rules and it is an interesting subject
nice! i like the bright colours and the simple efficacy of the composition... it works well!
we're paired for get pushed this week... i was going to challenge you to in-camera multiple exposure, but I'm not sure the sony does that... if it does - why not give it a try? if it doesn't, how about playing with shadows as a challenge?
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie. I guess I was trying for something that broke rules but still looked ok. @joemuli Haven't started yet Joey. Actually, when I moved into my house right after my husband died, I thought I'd attempt some projects. Then I remembered my history and told my friends to handcuff me if I told them I was going to undertake a project. LOL! I plan to do simple things. @grammyn I went to Lowe's and there was a young man standing looking at the drills. I began talking to him, picking his brain a bit. I did notice he had teardrop tattoos beside his left eye and then he said he hadn't used one in about 3 years... He was getting a bit fidgety and suggested I talk to one of the salesmen who was further down the aisle. When that guy and I returned to to the drills, the first guy had vanished. Anyway. That's how I ended up at the Craftsman section. I knew I didn't need a more professional brand. Too heavy!
Thanks Katy. @shutterbug49 I've taken so many that are crap, you'd think I could do it for a challenge. Although the challenge wasn't to take a crap photo, just one that broke the usual rules. Thanks. @kjarn Thanks Kathy. Pretty much the same rules of composition for drawing and painting. @pusspup Actually I know I'd get a better job done if my husband would do it, but he can't. Got to start somewhere. @wakelys Thanks Sue. @la_photographic Thank you Laura. @will_wooderson Well, I'm not sure I have that much drilling and screw driving to do, but I'll have good equipment to do it with anyway. @craftymeg Thanks Meg. @northy Thank you Northy. I'll have to choose the alternate camera as my camera does not have that option that I'm aware of. Thank you.
Works for...err...doesn't ?? work for me! LOL I have a husband but at this point I'd be better off getting my own power tools and doing things myself as if he wasn't here. He's just not interested in doing those kinds of things and he's often so tired I don't feel right asking him. Well, we'll get it figured out eventually! Good for you though on tackling the jobs you want to get done and good shot!

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. I never can remember most of them. I'm pretty keen on the rule of thirds, though.
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. Good luck with those projects.
