this is when an image is broken down into lines of 3 horizontally and vertically, with all together 9 parts, you do this in your mind through your view finder or in the LCD display on your camera, this is also useful when it comes to editing you photo later on after you've taken it, many post production editing tools that have good cropping and reframing that fit within the rule of thirds and will allow you to use it
The grid identifies 4 important parts when framing your image, it also gives you 4 lines which are important for positioning your image
Placing someones eyes when taking a picture of them on one of the lines automatically make their eyes the natural point of focus. Also, placing someone off center on one of the intercepting lines with an object next to them will allow there to be 2 points of interest. Another good technique is when you are taking a landscape photo is to have the horizon level with one of the lines, preferably the top one as it lets you see both halves of the photo well
When learning to use the rule of thirds, there are 2 important things you need to think about:
- What are the points of interest in the shot
- Where are you intentionally placing them
