R28 - Basic composition - Rule of thirds


From this YouTube video I have learnt about photography composition and the rule of thirds.
Basic composition - Dividing frame into a three horizontally and vertically. simple way of making effective compositions.

Rule of third effectively accomplishes two things
1. Allows you to unambiguously direct attention towards your photos creating visual flow
If your subjects were more centered your eye wouldn't know which way to travel.

2.  Allows people to figure out the important and interesting part of the scene
- This is why the horizon is often placed on the top third telling us its about the landscape, giving it most of the weight of the photo and the sky is less important as it is only given a third of the frame. This is repeatedly seen in landscape photography.


Overall, from this video I have learnt that the rule of thirds is very important when considering an image as what you find most interesting and important in a frame should be given the most weight to emphasise that.
Rule of thirds is about balancing the proportions of interesting elements in your frame.
