Composition of photographs

Composition and The Rule of Third

A good photograph needs to be taken including appropriate lighting and good composition. Composition means the arrangement of elements in a shot which makes it interesting to look at.

Taking a photo with the rule of thirds is placing important elements on the lines of the photograph in order to create a dynamic shot. The rule of thirds is simply separating a photograph into thirds horizontally and vertically so that you have nine parts.
Once the image is divided into sections the points where the lines meet become the strongest focal points. The lines themselves are the second strongest focal points. The grid helps to balance the photo making it more interesting and balanced.


Rule of Third example photographs

I took photographs using my iphone demonstrating the rule of thirds making the photographs balanced and interesting rather than the most interesting point of the photograph being central.

By making the photographs slightly off central it makes them more dynamic using different angles demonstrating the rule of third using the grid on my iphone.
