Rule of Thirds
Based on the Golden Mean, the Rule of Thirds is an age old guideline for composing images. Divide your scene into an imaginary “tic-tac-toe” grid, then place your subject(s) near any of the four intersections. It has been proven that people first look for a subject at these four intersection points. By placing your subject there you are also able to leave room around them to show where they are and what they are doing. Some of your cameras have these gridlines on your LCD screen to help you.
Notice in this image the horizon line is being placed along one of the horizontal axis and the woman is along one of the vertical ones? This creates more visual interest in the photo than if they were just in the middle.
This poor baby is plunked right in the middle... BORING!
Ah, thats much more balanced and pleasing to the eye
