The Rule of Thirds
Good composition is essential in photography. It allows us to convey messages and emotions through the images that we shoot. Fortunately, good photo composition can be easy to achieve by following a few simple guidelines. One of the most most important ones is the "Rule of Thirds."
As we look through the camera's viewfinder, imagine that there are lines dividing the scene into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, dividing your image into nine equal-shaped blocks. Frame your subject at one of the intersecting points instead of in the center of the viewfinder, as in the example below.
Your photography will become much more interesting and visually stimulating if you use the rule of thirds when framing your subjects.
