Rule of Thirds
You should understand a rule before you break it so that you know if you're breaking it effectively.
When applying the rule of Thirds, you are creating nine sections and four intersections.
Placing a subject at an intersection or along the line feels more natural to the viewer because most people usually look at one of the intersection points first instead of at the center of the picture.
When photographing a landscape, the horizon should be placed along one of the imaginary horizon lines created in the Rule of Thirds.
When composing an image, you might want to ask yourself:
What are the points of interest in this shot?
Where am I intentionally placing them?
