The Rule of Thirds








   This week's assignment was to learn about the Rule of Thirds in photography, which is a way of capturing and balancing our photos. Using the Rule of Thirds, to my understanding, is a way of dividing the frame into thirds, vertically and horizontally, giving a total of nine parts. My attempt of utilizing this technique involved mainly trying to place my subject at one of the intersections of our imaginary grid of the frame, in order to get a more appealing view to the casual onlooker. Most of my pictures were trying to use the rule of thirds horizontally, but I did attempt to utilize it vertically with the tree covering two thirds of the frame leaving the upper portion with a view of the sky.

  1. Your photos clearly show the rule of thirds. I also like how you chose to have a single object with a background that is pretty plain. I think this helps add to the effect that the photos are split into thirds.

  2. your photos definitely follow the rule of thirds in a clear and simple way. i think your pictures could be improved by having multiple aspects involved in the photo, not just one object placed in a third of the picture.
