The \u201cRule of Thirds\u201d is a theory of equilibrium\u00a0often\u00a0used in photography and art.\u00a0\u00a0Whether we are aware of it or not, our eyes often look for a sense of balance in what we see.\u00a0 This balance can be explained by breaking an image into thirds, horizontally and vertically (see image below).<\/p>\n

The basis for this\u00a0theory surrounds\u00a0the tendency\u00a0for\u00a0the human eye to gravitate to\u00a0intersecting lines.<\/p>\n

This \u201crule\u201d is not meant to be constricting but rather\u00a0a guide for improving the composition of photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is how to apply the \u201cRule of Thirds\u201d principal:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Pick\u00a0a focal point along one of the view finder points (red). This centre of interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Use\u00a0intersecting lines to arrange the focal point and\u00a0the background.<\/span><\/p>\n
