Odd Numbers

Odd numbers are better than Even ones in photography.”
 
I first heard about this ‘odd rule’ many years ago at my local Camera Club, and decided to experiment with it to see if it would work for me. I’m not really sure why it works, but it does. Perhaps it’s about the balance that odd numbers create. I find that three objects in a shot are particularly good.
Five, Seven or more can work but you run the risk of clutter in your image.
Give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised on how it works!

  2. Thanks for the tip, I will try this too. Just a little question if I may ask, what's the best way to get sharper photos? Have a great day my friend.
