Rule of Thirds

Saturday 10 June
Daybreak Pond (Oquirrh Lake) - 9am - 2 Hours
Salt Lake City Photography Group
The rule of thirds in photography is a guideline that places the subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open. It divides a photo into nine equal parts, split by two equally spaced horizontal and vertical lines. Generally, the rule of thirds leads to compelling and well-composed shots.

Leading Lines Photographic Meetup

Leading Lines Photographic Meetup

Saturday 08 July
Park in the Marina parking lot. - 3pm - 2 Hours
Salt Lake City Photography Group
In a photograph, our eyes tend to follow any detected lines running through the scene. These lines can be straight, curved, man-made or created by nature. They can include things such as train tracks, fences or railings, stairs, roads, wharves, bridges, stretched-out patterns, tunnels, hallways, a long body of water or paths. Leading lines are lines that are deliberately used to lead the viewer's eye to the subject, and they can come from any direction in the frame. When framing your subject, try to look for elements in the scene that you can use as leading lines, to emphasize your subject or focal point.
