1. Explore your options
See the potential photographs in front of your camera

Composition -- the rule of third
The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both
horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts. With this grid in mind the rule of thirds now identifies
four important parts of the image that you should consider placing points of interest in as you frame your
image.

The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo
becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally. Studies have
shown that when viewing images that peoples eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally
rather than the center of the shot - using the rule of thirds works with this natural way of viewing an image
rather than working against it.
