No, this is ∆SL. It's for ancient Egyptians trying to hook up online.

Me seeing the last frame: Is this loss?

As always, there is some errant info in this, and there is a great deal missing entirely.

For a much better explanation of composition, I urge you all to read this article on Petapixel - 10 Myths About the Rule of Thirds.

This was a really interesting read, cheers for sharing

Thanks a lot for sharing this article!

I'm struggling with composition and never found such a comprehensive article.

Would you have, by chance, other composition-related articles or posts to share?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Would it be better if I made a new post? It would just be a simple list and explanation for the post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

That would be ideal, I guess

Rule of thirds was the first composition rule I learned when I began photography may years ago, and has stuck with me since.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

It's pretty bulletproof.

Unless I have a damn good reason, things usually end up on the thirds lines in some way.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

You and me both. I remember still to this day the roll of film I shot after learning about it. I was really young and that roll really got me into photography.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Rule of thirds, framing, and leading lines are the ones taught to me when I first took interest in photography. It's been really helpful to me, but it's really the rule of thirds really that stuck to me.

I guess cameras having those rule of thirds (or fifths) guide lines helped a lot too.

I am seeing a Debian, Arch and Slackware logos, I need help.

I only saw ASL twice. Memories of mIRC on a monochrome laptop.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

This is brilliant. Saved! Will definitely be sharing this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Rule of thirds hurts my OCD brain. But it's probably a fair enough approximation

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I don't like pictures like this, they always look like wallpapers and weirdly artificial
