Have you heard that you should always use the rule of thirds? Well, not in this challenge! The theme here is central composition. Your photo should have a subject that is placed in or near the center.

Submit your photo in this thread!

Nice idea with the weekly challanges!

My photo doesn't have a subject in the strict sense that is placed at the center, but the viewer's attention is definitely drawn to the center, so I guess it qualifies as "central composition".

The photo was taken in northern Norway, in the mouth of Tana river area, in February 2017.

Well, this is going to be fun!

Would have liked that composition to be just a bit different, but I was already standing on my toes, holding up the camera as far as I could.. Simply couldn't get any higher.. And I'm not exactly a small person, either. ;)

Posted as a link because apparently I'm not yet allowed to upload images.. Hardly surprising, considering I'm more the lurker type that hardly ever posts stuff.. ;)

There are no rules in art and since photography is an art... you can guess the rest :-) 

As for the image: captured on a morning a bit after sunrise. Z6II, Z24-70 f4 @ 28mm, f8, 1/200s. I opted for a 16:9 ratio which works better than the std 3:2 ratio in this case.

I was walking along the Brooklyn Promenade early in the morning when I looked up a sidewalk just at the right time.

Taken on a Canon T3i with kit lens, 55-250mm. Some patenice was required, also a little luck since that really wasn't a macro lens.

They wouldn't let me just nudge the canon an inch or two.

Does this count? :)

RSP 170413 0002 LP

Drawn On Graph Paper? (2017)

Looks like someone took the sketch on graph paper a bit too literally when designing this building ;-) Seen near the Maasboulevard in Venlo (Limburg, The Netherlands)
