the rule of thirds

In photography There are several rules. If you have to respect one with your digital camera , well, choose the rule of thirds !

The rule of thirds, also called the golden rule, is widely used by many photographers and she is very old! In fact, the first time someone used it was in 1797 for composing panoramic paintings. You've probably followed this rule, sometimes unknowingly, taking a picture with your digital camera! The third rule is simple ... This is a guide that divides the image into 9 equal blocks.

Now, the idea behind it is to put your main subject, what you want us to look first (eyes when an individual) in line with the four points ; plant. The lines, they can serve as a guide. Try to follow in order to align the background of your photo. Note that the rule of thirds, or golden rule is useful for both horizontal and vertical photographs .

The main reason for observing the rule of thirds is to avoid placing the key element in the photo directly in the center, or prevent the horizon (at a landscape photography) divides the image into two.

Here is a typical example of using the rule of thirds:


You can see the second picture that respects the rule of thirds . The main subject (the eye of the squirrel) is located on the intersection at the top right. The composition of the photo is greatly improved, do not you think? The section of the photo unattractive right was removed to allow placing the eye directly on the top right corner. Given the disposition of the body of the squirrel, I chose this intersection to allow us to see her body while removing the unwanted items photography.

Like many other rules, it is not absolute. There are plenty of excellent photo that does not respect it! Do not be blinded by these rules, but rather inspiration. Sometimes it is precisely by violating these rules as the photographic composition is improved! Each case is a case. By cons, when you do not really know how to approach a subject is better frame a little wider , and post-production, we can reframe the issue to highlight.
