Understanding Rule of Thirds

11/5

The rule of thirds explained in this website is a simple way of looking at a picture. Instead of focusing on the center of the picture you have to imagine breaking the picture into thirds or into nine squares. It is explained that the eye naturally focuses into one of the cross sections of the lines making it appear balanced and visually pleasant. You can use the lines pretty much anyway you want by lining up the image horizontally or vertically. Although you do not necessarily have to use this rule it is best to know it before doing something else.
