I decided to take a picture of my younger brother’s shoes for this photoblog which focused on the rule of thirds. A little bit of a backstory, my brother loves to go outside, and well he is just a three-year-old who doesn’t stand wearing shoes. I decided to place the shoes in the way a person would walk, so one further than the other (like shoes walking by themselves). I applied the rule of thirds by placing the shoes on the left third of the image, this gives more space to where the shoes are pointing towards which is the top right. I think this is very much pleasing to the eye instead of not having that space. Though the two lines are quite distracting, I thought that the blue playground floor would give the brown-ish colored shoes more contrast.
