Unit 2 - Frame & Composition (Activity 3)

This is an example of the rule of thirds. Imagine a grid on this picture, three rows across, and three columns going down. Where the lines intersect are "sweet points" Putting the eye of the subject on one of the "sweet spots" is pleasing to the eyes. Therefore making this an example of the Rule of Thirds.

This picture is an example of, "The Rule of Thirds" Notice how the subject in the photograph is not centered. She is placed towards the left. If you can imagine the grid, her eye would be on one of the intersection points.

This photograph does NOT display the proper use of the rule of thirds technique. The subject is centered in the middle of the photograph. It is not placed to the side, therefore making it NOT a rule of thirds picture.

This Photo  displays what is NOT the rule of thirds. Even though the picture uses nice lighting techniques, it does not depict the definition of , "The Rule of Thirds." The subject (the girl in the shopping cart) is centered. She is not placed more towards the left or the right. Therefore, making this NOT a rule of thirds picture.
