No, I wouldn't just do that in and of itself. This thread is about topics you'd like to see in the future, so post your ideas and discuss.


I, for one, very much enjoy creative lighting (like this week's topic, long shutter speed with a flash) and would love to see more assignments that focus on lighting. That said, I think a balance must be held between the technical coolities of lighting, etc. and the artistic importance of composition, principles of design, etc.

I think we should do some thing involved with proportion/balance/law of thirds, something a little more straight forward. So that it's harder to go of topic for people who are new to this contest and photography in general.

GUIDELINE of thirds. It is by no means a rule, and definitely not a law.

I don't think that rule of thirds would be a good one, because it's really just a compositional guideline... and how would you judge that? Whose photo most closely adheres to the guideline? Proportion and Balance are both principles of design, though, and I think it could be cool to run down the principles as something one might emphasize in a photo.

Ultimately, though, I think the best photos are those that pay attention to everything, not just one aspect.
