Rule of Thirds Motion

Shawn walking: Compositional framing with purpose.

The goal for this week was to use the rule of thirds to take a motion based picture. When I was taking this photo, I wanted it to be clear that Shawn was the main object in the photo. Hence, as he was walking in and out of the frame, I had to time it correctly so he was placed in the middle third of the photo. By placing him in the middle the viewers eyes are automatically drawn to him at first sight of the photo, which is exactly what I wanted.
