Photography school: Rule of thirds
August 4th, 2007 Posted in Photography School, All
Same as for painting, in photography actually in choosing a shot you must have one simple but very important rule - Rule of thirds. This could be best seen on all the landscape photos such as on the Dusk, and the others. The main thing is to divide the frame on three sections horizontally and vertically and to put the most important crossings of the landscape right on that dividing lines.
That can bi line of the horizon, threes or any other important line. In other photography directions such as portrait photography (Marjan) the eyes as a very important, maybe the most important detail, must be on one of those lines. Same thing is with life photography and any other. But don’t worry if your older photos don’t satisfy this criteria, it can be fixed. In Iphotoshop you can crop your old photos to put the important stuff on the 1/3 lines. And also, don’t forget to use this knowledge every next time when having a camera in your hands!
