Rule of Thirds

Ok, so here's your first photo tip from Leah!


Now, a lot of photography consists of good composition (composition is how all of what you're shooting fits together in the frame of your camera). Good composition = an interesting photograph. So, how do we make a good composition? Why, by using the Rule of Thirds of course!


In order to get the rule of thirds, go ahead and split your picture into a grid of nine quadrants like so...


See where the lines intersect? That's where you put the subject of your photo, like the flower in this picture.


What this does is make your photography more dynamic and interesting than it would be to place your subject in the center of the frame. Easy enough, right?


Now it's your turn to go out and practice. Good luck! And remember good composition = interesting photograph!
