The theme for this week:

Welcome to a another round of the #POBPhotocontest
This week the subject is: RULE OF THIRDS

For this round I've chosen a photography concept named "Rule of Thirds". This "rule" isn't an actual rule, but more a guideline of composition. It states that a photo is more interesting when the horizon or other lines aren't placed exactly in the middle (this is what your mind probably wants to do automatically), but on a third of the photo.
Also placing your subject on one of the places the 'lines' cross could make your photo more interesting.
Many camera's have a setting which allows you to show the lines in preview. Even my smartphone camera has this option. You should check it out whether your camera has it too.
It really helps you while shooting!

Here is an example of the rule of thirds.

About the POBPhotocontest

The #POBphotocontest is a weekly photography contest with a different subject every week. It runs from Sunday until next Sunday (8:00 PM CEST).
My intension is to make this contest accessible for everyone; from experienced photographers with professional cameras to beginners shooting with their phone camera. Everyone can join!

Every week you can create a blog post for this contest with at least one photo that that meets the subject of that week. That photo needs to be the first photo in the post.
Although it is allowed to use a photo from your archive it is more fun to go out and shoot new photographs.

Your photo should tell a story by itself, but also write something about your photo or photo's in your post. Share some background information about the subject, location or techniques you used and why you submitted this photo for the contest.
Don't forget to set #pobphotocontest as one of the tags] of your posts since that is the way I can find all the submitted photos.

You can also put your photo with a link to your post in the comments of this post.

The contest ends next Sunday 8:00 PM CEST.
I will personally judge the photos and select 3 winners based on both the quality and originality of the photo and the additional information in the blog post itself.

The winners will receive POB tokens and Ecency points.

Photographing is my passion. Although I like photography in general, nature photography is one of my favourite subjects. I often go out with my camera for a hike to capture the beauty of nature.
I would love to read what you think of my photos in the comments.

If you have any questions you can contact me on Discord: friendlymoose#5717

An interesting subject this week. I've never heard of it and I just checked and my phone camera doesn't have this option, but surprisingly, there are many captures like this in my albums. Maybe not exactly split into 3, but not halves either. I'll see what I can come up with this week ;)

Cool! Then you have learned something new!
You can also do this afterwards with cropping your photo with an editor.
But doing it while shooting saves you time.

It is called camera grid. If you have an android phone with the Google camera app you can check out this instructuon video:

Yes, I have it! Thank you so much 😁

Another cool theme. Never heard of this until now. I do not have that option with lines but I kind of know how to visualize the 1/3 measurement. I hope that will do...

It isn't that hard to do it without the guidelines indeed. The guidelines do remind you of the rule.
Good luck!

Oh thanks, that's great. You're not gonna get a measuring tape to check the entries, yeah? 😄. It will be cool to have the feature though.

Nah.... I have an Eagle eye 😄

It is available in the Google Camera on Android phones by the way.

Oh no, I just entered the contest and now I'm not sure if it's the right measurement, I didn't know you have an eagle eye🤭

I just noticed the feature now when we do cropping the photo but not when taking a photo.. too late...
