The Rule of Thirds is a guideline for photo composition.
How does the Rule of thirds work?
Picture your frame sliced into thirds. 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal lines. This is an example of how it should look.
The lines are the important parts in the rule of thirds. Ideally key elements of a photograph should fall along those lines or even better where 2 lines touch. The 4 spots where the lines intersect are called power points. Visually speaking if an subject is placed on these power points, the image will look very nice
How is the rule of thirds used?
