The Rule of Thirds






The rule of thirds gives an image more 'energy'. The picture to the left shows the rule of thirds. The lowest horizontal line is in the same place as the horizon. This divides the horizon and the rest of the photo. This makes the image more interesting. The tree is in line with vertical line to the right. This offsets the image enough for it to look cool, but also not too far that the photo looks distorted.

      • This is not an add that you can buy a product from
