MY OBSESSION WITH SYMMETRY

I am not a photographer by any means, but when I feel tempted to take a picture, it is simply because I want to freeze an instant in time and I am so amazed by what I see, that I would probably never experience something similar again. Of course, always highlighting the horizontal symmetry.
I see that photographers, professionals and apprentices, always share the details and information of the equipment they took their photo with. But in my case, I'm just going to say it was taken with the spectacular rear camera of my HTC ONE X, which died a while ago, but not before leaving me with the satisfaction of having frozen many moments of my life and the image that today I share with you, he is one of them.

I am surprised that I have been able to capture something as large, extensive and deep as the sea, in just a small blue strip.
Thanks for taking a few minutes if your time to read my post. The truth is that I love writing and here I have found a way to express myself. Today, I have also shared one of the images I captured on one of my trips. Your opinion is very important to me, so if you want to tell me something, leave a comment.

That is beautiful, man. Very powerful image for being so simple.
Thanks for taking a few minutes of your time to look at my post. You (probably) have no idea how powerful and wonderfull this moment was. I was caught in the middle of something so big that I had to freeze it. This was the result. Thanks again for stopping by.
Hello, my friend. My turn! So much sand. So much sea. So much sky. I am amazed at the endlessness of each element in your photo. The clouds disturb the almost perfect bands of color, bringing interest to the image. Since you enjoy my images so much, I'll share three things I was taught during my photography.
First, the rule of thirds, which involves imagining a grid of 9 squares to help you place subjects in certain areas to strengthen the composition. Wiki.
The second is the Fibonacci sequence. The rule of thirds is a simplification of the more complex concept that draws on a mathematical ratio found everywhere in nature and even considered divine. This ratio can help you create compositions that please the human eye and mind. Article
The third will satisfy your obsession for order - Make sure your horizons are level. Viewer's minds are disturbed by horizontal lines that are just barely askew by accident. Do your best to achieve this in the camera then fix it in your software...
I realize that I rarely think of the first two when taking photos. My method of composing has become natural to me. I often forget the third!
