The Rule of Thirds |

The Rule of Thirds is a guide to help with image composition. The simplest way to ‘picture’ this is to divide a frame (either landscape or portrait) both vertically and horizontally into three, effectively making a grid of nine squares or rectangles. This grid is then used as a guide to composing your image as it seems to create the proportions most pleasing to the eye. There isn’t much more to be written on the subject, however a picture paints a thousand words… |

With this image on the left, once the grid is overlayed, the rule of thirds seems a little more clear. |

This one is less obvious still but you can see that the composition conforms to the rule. |
