Is it something that one can learn?</strong><br /><br />"The Rule of Thirds" is a simple compositional rule of thumb used in all visual arts (photography, painting and design).<br /><br />The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into 9 equal parts by 2 equally-spaced horizontal lines and 2 equally-spaced vertical lines (see opposite), and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. <br /><br />Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition rather than simply centering the subject would (which this rule discourages).<br /><br />Have fun!<img src="images/stories/ruleofthirds.gif" border="0" alt="Rule of Thirds Example" title="Application of the principle on photo of sunset taken in the Thousand Islands" hspace="5" width="307" height="307" align="left" /><strong>We all have our favorite photos - however what makes a good composition?
