Woody, the grid's simple enough: four lines divide the focus screen into
six equal parts (imagine a tic-tac-toe arrangement), with the line
intersections handy for rule-of-thirds composition. These lines are
discreet and by tale thinner than those provided by Beattie off the shelf.
By the way, John mentioned to me (when I first made inquiry re his etching)
that Kodak (I believe he said) "invented" the rule of thirds--back in the
50s or 60s? I was moved to observe that this theory of composition was
hardly new or in need of recent (re)invention for, as far as I know, it
dates back to at least the time of Rembrandt, indeed, if not as far back as
Leonardo da Vinci!
Anyone with better (fuller) knowledge of art history than I possess care to
comment?
Tris
Thanks for the reply.
I heard to about John etch from you and other list, and became curious about
it, I have some Oly 2-x screen to spare but might be buy it from John.
What kind of most popular and useful grid line is? I'd like to know.
