Rule of Thirds
The main principal of the Rule of Thirds is breaking an image down into to 9
parts. This grid now can be used to identify important parts of the image, and
can be used to balance out the photo so there may be interesting bits all around,
or can be used to balance the interest on one side or in the middle of the image.




If you place points of interest on the intersections then the image becomes more
balanced and the people who see the image can itereact with it more naturally.




Important questions to think about when using the Rule of Thirds
  1) What are the points of interest in the shot?
  2) Where am I intentionally placing them?
