The rule of thirds

1. The Rule Of
Thirds

2. To use the Rule of thirds the image is divided
by 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines. In order to
use the rule of thirds correctly the main
features of the image have to be placed on the
lines or the intersections. The intersections are
where the horizontal and vertical cross over.
Here is a grid showing how the rule of thirds
work. Placing the main components on the
intersections can make the image look more
interesting and appealing to the audience. It
can also provide balance to the photo and
show any extra parts such as a shadow.
