 I do not fully understand thirds but here are a few of my tries--I was shaking when taking pictures so I know some are not clear like they should be, but wanted to try my hand at this and it will be a few more days before being able to try to do any more--will appreciate help.

    B, thirds generally means you divide the picture into 3 parts. Let's say you have a balloon, instead of placing it in the center of your view finder, you place it off to a side for example taking up 1/3 or 2/3's of the view finder or picture. It's based on an imaginary grid that would be on your view finder. jojames theme post had an example of that grid. #2 is a good example of thirds. All your pictures look great!

    Just think of it as Hollywood Squares and you never want to pick the Center Square (Whoppi? Paul Lynde?)

    B, Look at Debora's post below as I know you have. Most are perfect example of thirds. Like #1. She does not have the words centered they are in the lower 3rd of the frame.

    It doesn't mean groupings of 3, I think some people are interpreting it that way maybe. But I do like groups of 3...LOL

    oh AFLAC! I just opened up a huge can of worms didn't I? LMAO I agree debora, even decorating is done with odd numbers, groups of 3 or 5.

    Nice shots B, gotta go with #2 as a favorite for several reasons....Like the clouds, the tree is neat and the squirrel nests stand out nicely.

    #2 is the best example of the rule of thirds. Just wondering. Is splatterfetti the same as Hershey-squirts? 12/01/05 0741 CST

    I will not be able to type for the rest of the day...the straight-jacket is a little restrictive. Thanks for the tip, codepoit. They are giving me a "mental" vacation...I don't know what it means, but it sounds like fun.
