Study Notes

  • The rule of thirds is a guideline that divides a photo into nine equal parts, with two equally spaced horizontal and vertical lines.
  • The corners of the central square are the intersections points in your rule of thirds grid.
  • When your image includes natural straight lines, like a landscape or tree, placing them along one of the four grid lines creates a simple and effective composition.
  • Otherwise, the most important elements should be placed at one of the four intersection points of these lines.
