The only thing that I have in mind whenever I snap photos, of course, this doesn’t always apply. Take note that I am NOT a professional and whatever I post here will be something that I read from tutorials or learned and heard from hobbyists like me, a snap bitten lady who just wants to share what I always love to do.

The RULE of THIRDS

Remember this: Don’t put the areas of interest in the middle of the photograph. Move your point of interest away from the center of your photo and onto the thirds.

What is the thirds?

In Landscape: Use the horizontal grind lines for things like horizons and where water meets land.

In Portraits: Use the horizontal grid lines for placing people’s eyes, or, in groups shots — people’s heads.

Vertical Grid Lines: Use it for placing trees, falls or just a person with a background behind them.

DON’T BE A PERFECTIONIST (which is way too hard for me, if you ask me! *laughs*)! And sometimes (not often!), it is better to have your focal point in the center of the photograph. Sample insert {courtesy of the very talented Jessica Claire}.

So there you go. I hope this was helpful. So grab your camera and try it. You’ll see what difference it makes. Good luck!
