The Rule of Thirds

          Taking more impressive pictures isn’t hard but takes work, the rule of thirds is the easiest to apply but tricky to master. Beginning photographers tend to not focus on the object. By focusing merely on the center object, by doing this you draw the eye to focus on the center. The rule of thirds has you mentally superimpose this grid upon your scene and move the subject so that it sits on one of these lines. Be aware that the closer you are to a subject the more difficult it is to apply the rule of thirds. For example full length portraits, require you to place your subject to one side of the center of the image. Another example is with close up portraits the subject would be the eyes because they fall nicely on the vertically third line and the top third line.
