Tips and Tricks for Great Pics: Rule of Thirds

Jocelyn Adley, Staff Writer

 

The rule of thirds is one of the most commonly used technique in photography. For this I want you to imagine that you have taken your image and divided into ninths. the lines will help you to put your subject in the right focal point. The intersections of the lines become an important point to try and focus on. So rather that having your subject in the center of the image, it would be offset.  These intersections are  point of focus and make the photo more appealing to the eye. ‘Thirds’ comes into play with the idea of filling the screen with two thirds background and one third of your subject.
