Tut 01 : The Rule of Thirds, what's behind ?So here we are, my first little article about "photography" ! Sorry in advance for my bad English, hope you will be able to get through

To begin this adventure, I wanted to start up-front with a concept I am sure many of you have heard of : drum-roll... "The Rule of Thirds" !
It is certainly the most controversial and well known composition rule. Half of the world says :
Follow this rule ! it is the key to lovely pictures

the Dead Bus - HDR workshopby *wchild

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Photography

©2011-2013 *wchild

Use the download button to get yourself a .zip package containing 5 individual exposures; -2, -1 , 0 , +1 and +2 EV all in jpg's. No 'single RAW method' was used here; all exposures are truly individual. ---> Note that in the alignment settings of your HDR software.

So here's what to do;

Download the files.

Prepare your HDR image with your preferred software.

Tone map it. (about tonemapping in Wikipedia: [link] )

Edit the image further if you wish since tone mapping only takes you half-way.

..and finally upload your creation on dA.

I have just one request; Post me a link to your creation! I always enjoy seeing what you have come up with my files.

This is my version of this:

Now hit the download button and see what you can do with this workshop.

Another HDR workshops of mine. Try them out too!
