Rule of Thirds
Rule of Thirds:
This very basic guideline for composition is easy to visualize and apply. It can help you to avoid what is known as the Bulls Eye Syndrome where all of your images have the subject squarely in the middle of the frame. Remember that a subject that is placed off-center will create more tension and interest resulting in a more dynamic image.
To use the Rule of Thirds begin by visualizing the frame divided into 9 equal parts with 2 evenly spaced horizontal lines and 2 evenly spaced vertical lines. Place important and/or strong elements, such as your subject and the horizon along these lines and/or at the intersection of the lines.
