Rule Of Thirds

The rule of thirds relates to a grid that is divided into nine equal sections that helps to position your shot evenly. In addition, the section where the lines intercept is where the audiences focus should be. However the most important part of the shot should be on the left hand side, as we read images from right to left.



We see that several of our main compositional elements fall on the lines or the intersection of two lines.

Succinct and useful post. It would be better if you had included an image with the grid overlayed.
