“Rule-of-Thirds” in Composition

“Rule-of-Thirds” in Composition – A convention in framing where the frame is divided in to three even sections both horizontally and vertically. The idea is to try to place centers of interest (subjects and actions) along the dividing lines and especially at the intersections of the lines. The rule-of-thirds can be used when deciding on camera framing, angles, and movement.

Note: the horizon line runs along a "thirds division line".
