[QUOTE="J-see, post: 385001, member: 31330"] Much composing is indeed on automatic pilot. When I'm shooting landscapes or other static shots I'm framing in thirds. In the beginning it took some effort to pay attention to that (and leveled horizons) but after a while you do without giving it much thought. Other shots are harder to frame and often dead center when shooting. When I reframe in LR I mostly have the thirds enabled as guides but seldom really pay attention to it. It becomes a bit like feeling when it is right. Some shots that's easy, others I cycle through all available formats and in the end can only get it as I desire when using free format. But there are times you have to throw the thirds overboard and settle for something else. If you have high contrast shots, thirds will not work if that results in a too large portion of the darks (or lights) overpowering the shot. Then you have to find a composition that brings balance to those. [/QUOTE]
