How to shoot great pictures? |
|
Do you have trouble shooting good photos? Here are some tips for taking beautiful pictures.
The rule of thirds or golden rule is a guideline for eye-pleasing photo composition. Essentially, the rule requires pictures to be divided up into nine equal parts (three sections of thirds, horizontally and vertically). This grid has four points at which the lines intersect - called golden sections.
 | It is at or near these points that a photo's main subject should be placed. It is not essential to keep the subject right in the center of the photo or place the horizon exactly in the middle (the center is called the static zone).
You can position it off-center, so that you can highlight the sky or perhaps focus on a subject in the foreground.
The general principle is that using the rule of thirds creates tension and therefore energy and interest in your photos, and makes a photo "feel right". |
