Rule of Thirds

So. First Blip.

I moved to London a month and a bit ago and I've been itching to start pursuing a new hobby properly. Thank goodness for Erin, who has very kindly taken me under her wing. Had a play-around with her camera (which I believe is a Nikon? I am a poor, unobservant student) and learnt about a few things today:

1) Aperture
2) Leading lines (I haven't got the hang of this yet)
3) ...and finally, the rule of thirds.

I don't think this was my favourite photo from today, but it's the clearest one I have of me attempting to use the rule of thirds. One third gorilla ladies, two thirds yellow sign. This was taken at the V & A Museum, and was one of the pieces from their excellent exhibition 'Disobedient Objects'.

More to come, I hope.
