RULES & Rule of Thirds

Source: www.flickr.com

This is a good example of a "rule of thirds" photographs.
Taking pictures with interest. That makes sense. But taking pictures with passion does make more sense.
Talking about senses, it's just now (when I started taking Photography) that I realized the essence of good pictures. Well, I love taking jump shots, "wacky" shots and my-own-shots. It sometimes fascinates me to see pictures that look good to me. Sometimes I consider my self a good photographer even with just those simple photographs.
But now, as I continuously learn this subject, I began to know that I WAS actually against the rules.
See?
Even with those simple pictures, I was already violating rules.
But these rules were set not to criticize you or anybody else but to make people understand the value of each photo. It's for us to value each moment. Well, it's according to my own perception of course. Because, I find these rules before contradicting. Which is actually wrong, because it helped me a lot in knowing how to be aware of good and best angles.
I t helped me a lot in taking what-I-want photos.

I really admire photos taken with inspiration. Just like this one, it speaks aloud the beauty lying inside the photographer's passion.
As of now, depth of field is our exercise which this picture is a good example. Great enough for me to know slowly things about photography.
Many people love taking pictures yet cannot achieve what they really desire. I think it's just too hard for someone who does not have any idea on how to take the best-quality photo. Like me, I do love taking pictures yet I do not know how to take them according to what I want them to look.
It's just too hard, that's why I want to learn more.
