Unit 2 Activity 3

Unit 2 Activity 3: Rule of Thirds

Rule of Thirds Examples:



The rule of thirds in photography means that the main subject of an image is located in at least a third of the image. If you imagine a tic tac toe square in the picture, the points of intersection are where the subject should be. In both of the images above, the main subject is located in a third of the picture, thus fulfilling the rule of thirds. 

Not Rule of Thirds:



Notice that in these two pictures above, the main subjects are not in a third of the picture. Both subjects serve as more of a focal point of the picture rather than fulfilling the rule of thirds.

Where did these pictures come from? Check out these awesome photographers work!
