PICTURES FROM MY WINDOW.SNOW IN BARCELONA’S TIBIDABO. THE RULE OF THIRDS



It is an image very rare and should be exploited to the series of pictures from my window. Referring to the series, I took a similar photo on January 7, 2009, in which also snowed, but only in the Collserola mountains and not in the city of Barcelona.
Looking at the composition one might wonder whether there was a better frame. It is true that I followed the rule of thirds in which the horizon has to be at two thirds or one third, as in this case, to give more dynamism to the image. Usually, if we place the horizon in the medium, the composition is duller.




But why give more prominence to the sky when the most interesting is ithe snowy mountain? The downside of taking pictures from a fixed place, in this case my window, is that you can change the lens, in this case a 300 mm telephoto, but not the point of view.
Here is the reason I framed only one third of the mountain.
