Rule of thirds

   A few days ago, in class, we learnt about the rule of thirds which is a compositional rule used by many photographers. rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. This creates more interest and energy with the picture.
