Rule of Thirds using Predator...

I wrote an entry in my blog on the rules of thirds using the movie Predator as an example. Here's the image of the blog without all the pictures. To see them all, click on the link at the bottom of this post. Hope you guys enjoy it.

If I'm not mistaken the rule of thirds is used a lot in movie production (at least from Hollywood)

Thanks for your reply's guys. I know it's been around for hundreds of years but I'm very new to this art stuff so it was a bit more significant to me.

Don't mind us. I know you probably worked hard on that blog post, but you have to look at it from another perspective. RoT is probably the most commonly referred to 'rule' there is in photography. It's one of the first things anyone learns who has ambition to shoot more than snapshots. There really isn't anything magical or special about the RoT. It's simply a guideline that uses the human brain's natural tendancy to want to pick out things that aren't quite right, or even, or standing out, to make your photos more intriguing.

Most photographers are sick of hearing about it. A lot, (like myself) hate the fact that it's called a rule (because it really isn't). And, it's probably one of the most trite things that can talked about when it comes to photography.

Don't sweat it. We're just cynics.

I completely understand and thank you for the response. Not crying into my coffee. I feel the same way about "newbies" that talk about things I am familiar with and well versed in. Hopefully photography will become one of those as well.

Thanks.
