Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds

Our brain likes to see things in 3's so when doing photography we try to make an image either have three subjects either long or wide, this makes the picture more appealing to the human eye.

 In this one in the bottom third there is a hill and field which is the 1st subject, then in the second third there is a city in the horizon which is then the 2nd subject and finally the sky is in the top third which gives it 3 subjects and makes it more appealing for our eyes.

This one is similar to the first but instead of the field in the bottom it is a large compass telling you where close attractions are, the second subject is more of a wooded area than a town/city and the 3rd subject has hills as well as the sky in it but is a similar sort of shot

This one is completely different to the the other two because this isn't a landscape shot, this is a close up of a flower the rule of thirds in this one is vertical because it has the subject of a leaf in the one in the third on the left then the flower in the middle section then grass and a wall in the one on the right.

This one has a bit of rule of thirds of both because it has the fence in the bottom third then the path and city in the second third then got the sky in the top third but i was more focused on it being vertical because it has the grass in the one on the left then the path in the middle and the hedge on the right.

In conclusion rule of thirds is hard to get perfect but when it is done it makes the pictures look a lot better and they are better to look at because our eyes like seeing things in threes.
