An exercise in The Rule of Thirds.

Everyone who has studied art, design or photography, should know about The Rule of Thirds - so I'm not going to go into a detailed definition of what it is, and whether or not it is important in composition.

I tend to dislike being bound by rules and conventions.

This shot, however, conforms to the rule.

Winter horizon.

Late last week, I bought a new compact camera (a Canon PowerShot S100), specifically for moments like this. When it's just impractical to be carrying a DSLR.
