Rule of Thirds
blogYesterday morning I decided to act as if I were a proper photographer and employ the rule of thirds in all my photos. According to the rule of thirds, to make an image visually arresting you should frame the object so that it is located where the lines of the nine-square grid intersect. For some reason there is more artistic tension there than there is if you frame the object in the centre of the viewfinder.
I had long known of the rule of thirds but not to the extent of doing anything about it. It was only after having read the Internetsdairy guide on the subject that it began to make sense.
