1. Rule of Thirds Digital Photography

2. Rule of Thirds Explains what part of an image the human eye is most strongly drawn towards first. Draw an imaginary tic-tac-toe board across an image to break it into nine equal squares.

3. Rule of Thirds The four points where these lines intersect are strongest focal points. 4 Hot Spots!

4. Rule of Thirds Objects placed along the LINES themselves are the second strongest focal points “Look At” Lines

5. What should you do? Place the object’s center of interest at intersections or along the lines themselves NOT IN THE MIDDLE ! Eliminate areas that are distracting. http://photography.about.com/od/takingpictures/ig/Rule-of-Thirds/
