Rule Of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds is a guideline that divides an image into 9 equal segments using 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines. It is important that certain elements are placed on the lines. The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guidelines and intersection points. The subject will be placed on the horizon, top or bottom line. This allows linear features in the image to flow one section to another. The main reason that the rule of thirds is used is so the horizon is prevented from dividing and splitting the image in half. This is also used to hide the horizon line. I will try to use the rule of thirds in my photography.
