Piesport is wine country on the Mosel River. Our first photography excursion is at this quaint town. It was a cloudy, foggy day. So the dynamite views from the scenic overlooks were shrouded in mystery. Still, we managed to get a few good photos of the place!
Our focus this week was on the rule of thirds and getting close to our subject to make photos more interesting.

Rule of Thirds
Make imaginary lines like a tic-tac-toe. Follow your subject or the horizon along those lines to make the photo more interesting than a photo perfectly centered. This is quickest and most used photography lesson on creating interest in a photo.

Get close
Do you have photos with an immense beautiful background and your subject looks like a bug on the windshield? You’ll have a scenic photo. Get close to your subject and the scenery in the background will still be interesting, and so will your subject.
For digital: The higher the megapixels on your camera, the more you can crop. Experiment with both the rule of thirds and closing in on your subject. Try cropping your photo making 3 or 4 different ones and see which pleases you the most. Playing with digital is a great way to learn. And it doesn’t cost a thing.
