#25: against the rules
The rule of odds states that when you're including a group of subjects in your photo, an odd number, rather than an even number will produce a more interesting, and more visually pleasing composition.
I could hear in the ocean breeze a faint sound calling me…
Dolphins dance and dolphins shimmer,
See their spirit grow and glimmer.
Swim on the dolphin, reach to the top,
Never look back and never stop.
The sea is calling, so dive on in,
Wave that tail and raise a fin.
Give a jump for fun and glee,
Then get on up and dance with me!

posting twice for this challenge is another way of breaking those rules ;o)
I reckoned you'd maybe enjoy these shots of one of the triplets born next door today
and forgive this particular ODC rule breaking!
The ewe and her three lambs were in a tiny pen inside so not easy to get shots,
but I couldn't resist a few quick snaps ;o)
(Sorry - I've been really busy but will try and catch up with you all later :o)
(for ODC - break the rules"
Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "Break the Rules".
Another shot taken with a roll film camera (Leica M6, with a 35mm lens, on Lomography Berlin film).
This shot has everything wrong, lots of noise, unsharp, and the main character is in the middle of the picture. Actually I did not do this on purpose, it was a failed shot but suits the assignment well I think. In post I cropped the guy with the dog to the middle, but for the rest it is what it is. I like shooting film very much because of the imperfections it gives, many of them because of my own doing....
Allan Gardens Conservatory, Toronto.
Compositionally Challenged: Break the rules. The subject is cut off, because I wanted the attention to be on the dramatic middle, not the whole flower. The rule of thirds is also broken. Instead, the top two and bottom two intersect the top and bottom 'rule of thirds' lines, but not the vertical/horizontal meeting points.

Prozac05, minutes after he got a fresh haircut. Probably the only person in the world that has even more stubborn hair than me. So it really feels like a young dog's fur when it is freshly cut. See it large.
What it took: Tried to brake any photographic rule I know here. Starting from the odd crop, to no rule of thirds, landscape portrait, photographing a face from below, direct flash into the face (at bright daylight) and so on...
The hardest part was not being allowed to crop the picture afterwards. I feel that my workflow is to not care too much about the exact composition and do this work exclusively in the RAW processing (that is what I like the high resolution of this camera for). Well, it was a good exercise (especially with this kid being unable to hold still for 2 seconds...).
In the post-processing I worked on the eyes, enhanced details and tinted with a little green.
I really should go back to more photoshopping again. That is where I come from and why I started photography.
Our Daily Challenge ... break the rules.
Not only have I used intentional camera movement in a style I hardly ever use but I have taken my new camera to the beach and walked on the rocks which I vowed I wouldn't do again after I fell and "killed" my previous camera.
The composition rules I broke in this are the rule of thirds, symmetry, and shooting towards the sun.

Love this old farmhouse! I walked up to the top of the hill to get this shot of the farmhouse by itself. There is a giant red barn to the right. The old oak tree stands proudly in front of the farmhouse and yes, smack in the middle of my photo. Sometimes it's OK to break the rules!

39/52: Break the rules
I think I appropriately broke several rules in this picture. One, the rule of thirds, and two, don't go out on the roof with a pair of wings, swimming goggles and a pith helmet.
This is the cropped version of this picture, because the bigger version didn't work so well.
Thank you to Joey for letting me test his camera and lens for the day!
It would make me happy if you pressed L.

Enjoying a bit of reading on photography tonight with a book by Michael Frye, "Digital Landscape Photography." I like that there are more beautiful images than words! So far this is one of my favorite snippets.

Oh, boy, does this Break The Rules! From fashion rules to rules of composition everything about this image bugs me nearly beyond tolerance. In fact, once I'd started breaking rules I broke another (of my own) which is "once posted don't regret, just move on" by deleting the first posting of this image ; this version has been cropped a bit more on the right than the original post was as I just couldn't bear to look at it. Even this one irritates me as it's just everything a photo should not be :-) which is the point I guess. It does remain one of those instances when a pedestrian moment seemed to fit a photographic challenge. This image also proves my rule that street photography is better in B&W.
Apologies to anyone who commented on the initial posting of this image :-) I a control freak!
The only rule that does apply here is my own, which is that one should have a reliable P&S to hand at all times. Apart from cropping and my signature this is SOOC.
Food shopping in Europe is a task I seem to undertake far more frequently than I did in the UK (and South Africa for that matter) as fresh food is just that and it's better to buy only what you need when you need it in order to avoid waste. However this means way too many trips to the local supermarkets and grocery stores for my liking and it's a task that soon loses its appeal.

This really breaks the rules for me. I very rarely center my subject ... and now I see why ... lol

Saw this bird of prey while taking macros in the garden. No time to switch so I snapped it with the 100 mm. By far not close enough...
i wanted to get more of this starbucks in the frame but i was in a moving automobile with just a 50mm. i wasn't driving.
I am so tired of the horizon pollution by the electricity poles in my neighbourhood that I decided to tear one down. By the time the police arrived, it was already too late. Only the four corner bottom parts were still attached firmly to the ground. Now, that will teach them a lesson!

This awful tower is in our neighbor and blocks every "nice" sunset. I was finally able to incorporate it into a "Break The Rules" picture. No climbing was actually done in this photo.

ODC Theme: Break The Rules
Dad helped set up the photo but I put the camera on a 10 second timer and got in the seat. The camera was balanced on our rubbish bin.
Breaking the rules... don't cut off the subject's head in a portrait shoot!
This get's a second break the rules as well as the face is out of focus, but the camera's battery went flat and it is late... so this will have to do.
Flickr Lounge: Break the Rules...spotted this guy flying in this am, so got a quick shot through the glass doors, with a too slow shutter I think, so not quite in focus and no catchlights, but had to get him before he moved. Boring background and right in the center too
Assignment: Break the Rules
Rules broken - 1. Don't shoot into the sun, 2. Look through your viewfinder, 3. Avoid sun flares, 4. Don't shoot at mid-day, 5. Don't let that black dog kiss you on the nose!
Well, I certainly got out of my comfort zone for this shot! I've only once added textures to a photo and today I've done it for the second time! Additionally, (for some reason) I take photos of flowers but for the first time I've hidden the flowers and just allowed you to see the green stalks!!
I might keep away from my comfort zone as this was fun!! Oh, the title .. that's the name of the texture!
