Concerning the rules of composition in photography (to follow or to break), almost everyone knows (or is aware of) the rule of thirds. Looking for a topic for this challenge, I accidentally came across the rule of odds, which had never come to my attention. So I thought it would be fun to try putting this rule into practice and see how it goes.
The "rule of odds" in photography suggests that an odd number of subjects in a composition, such as three or five, tends to be visually appealing and creates balance.
So, for this challenge, post photos using the rule off odds with 3 subjects and more. Please avoid an impossible-to-count number of subjects (like a starry sky) . It would be interesting if you created new images with the rule in mind rather than searching your bank for those that might be suitable. As I never intentionally applied this rule I don't have examples to share.
The standard rules apply:
As usual, this Challenge will consider originality, technical merit and artistic vision.
No change to the tried and trusted rules, which are as follows:
1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select some from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the image in order to enter it.
2. Only one entry per challenge, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your
replacement pictures that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.
3. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photo challenge, after all!
4. The winner will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Challenge, and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the Cameraderie Photo Challenges forum,
with details of the new theme. Don't forget - the opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.
5. The curator cannot enter in his / her / their own challenge.
This challenge will open July 04, 2024 and will run until July 31, 2024
