Rules of Thirds Pictures

This is me representing the rule of thirds, as you can see my eyes are in the invisble third line.

However this shot is me breaking the rules of thirds as my eyes are halfway down the camera so the shot doesnt look good.
Below is me cropping the picture and making it acceptable within the terms of the rule of thirds.



Rule Of Thirds

The Rule Of Thirds is a techinque used for paintings or pictures, which is when the screen is slpit into nine boxes by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines. These help to capture tension or energy by placing different parts within the image on different intersections.
