Compose Your Frame


This picture is influenced by the rule of thirds, the diagonal rule, and vectors. Firstly, you can notice the horizon of the mountain in the background. I believe this part really demonstrates the rule of thirds and that when you're trying to make the horizon stand out, the actual mountain tends to be more towards the second third of the picture. In a sense, the mountain helps break up the picture into thirds. Secondly, if you look closely at the wood underneath the two cacti, you can see diagonal slits inside of the wood that give this object more depth. I think this factor establishes the diagonal rule. Lastly, vectors are seen because your eyes are drawn to the multiple vertical lines that were made by this outdoor-window-contraption-type-thing. I don't know what you would call it, however, it was outside of a vintage shop where these two cacti sat and received life from the sun, mountains, and all surrounding up in Zion National Park. It was such a beautiful day.
