Refresh: Rule of Thirds⁠ Photo: Yvonne Roberts⁠ This is a great image to end our Refresh Sharing Series. It encompasses many aspects of creative composition including the rule of thirds, natural lines and framing, captured as 'The Ribble' makes it way through Dobson's Locks.

Refresh: Rule of Thirds Captured at Dobson Locks, the main subject is placed in the left third of the frame and directs the viewers eyes across the centre line into the right side of the frame. The soft focus of the background creates balance and depth within the image.

Refresh:⁠ Rule of Thirds The focal point of this image is highlighted due to its position being in the left third of the frame and also by being very sharp and in focus. The soft focus of the reeds on the opposite side of the frame creates balance and depth.

Refresh: Rule of Thirds⁠ ⁠ Photo Credit: Yvonne Roberts⁠ ⁠ Captured by the side of the canal, this is a perfect example of an image using the Rule of Thirds. The focal point is clearly offset to the left of the frame with the other side left simple and uncluttered.

For the final week of sharing images from the production of the Refresh Video Tutorials we will be focusing on images that are captured using the Rule of Thirds. The basic concept of this is to place your subject slightly off centre in the left or right third of the image.

Refresh: Photography In Nature⁠ - Angles⁠ ⁠ Photo Credit: Peter Forrest ⁠ This low down, close up shot has produced a creative angle and an interesting composition, turning a subject which from a distance might look relatively simple into an intriguing and artistic image.

Refresh: Angles⁠ Photo Credit: Zaki aged 8yrs ⁠ This image provides a beautiful view of caterpillars. As an 8yr old Zaki was able to get extremely low to capture these caterpillars and being so close to his subject was able to enhance the image with depth of field.

Refresh: Angles⁠ Photo Credit: Peter Forrest An untraditional view from a bridge over the canal. Often people will naturally photograph the scene directly infront of them. Here the photographer has captured what is directly underneath them, creating an alternative perspective.

For the third week of sharing images from the production of the Refresh Video Tutorials we will be focusing on images that are captured from creative and unusual angles. Will you be inspired to try out out some unusual angles when capturing images? canal-connections.com/refresh-tutori…

Refresh: Photography In Nature⁠ ⁠ A beautiful image captured in the woods alongside the canal at Esholt. The trees, roots, fence posts and path all create strong compositional lines leading the viewers eyes into the heart of the image.
