>>72699 >digital cameras are expensive and I got a good deal on this film camera. I have a decent digital camera but it's not a fancy SLR with lenses or anything.
But SD cards are cheap compared to film. If you shoot a reasonable amount, the difference between that and an entry-level DSLR or high-end point-and-shoot will pay for itself in a year.
What digital camera do you have? If it has a manual mode, you're really as good to as with an SLR for everything but low-light and action photography within the focal lengths the lens has. And some of the highest end point and shoots are responsive enough to do action photography with, provided you set the camera to manual focus.
The Rule of Thirds is what you're talking about. It's a guideline, and like most artistic guidelines, to be internalized as "this generally looks best" and then totally disregarded. Other things like it are that groups of three things generally look the best, landscapes are to be done with wide angle and portraits with telephoto, When you photograph people in color, you are photographing their clothes. When you photograph them in black-and-white, you photograph their souls (Ted Grant), etc. Be aware of it and realize it's just there to stop people from making sucky photographs and get them to mediocre ones, and is totally tentative.
