The Thrive Project - Rule of Thirds

The Thrive Project

Part 2 - Rule of Thirds



The picture I used in the Project this week

The rule of thirds is my favorite photography tool. I use it all the time, after a while you will learn to just think in the rule and take most of your pictures using it. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines. Which in regular words means dont make the focus of the photo in the center, put it off to the side. I can tell you that it works. If you were to take a photo of someone in the center of the frame and then another off to the side, they will look totally different.

Here are some examples of my work, that use the rule....

 

Hope you liked them!!
