🎯 Composition Made Simple: The Rule of Thirds for Beginners
Host: Rick McEvoy 🇬🇧 | Duration: ⏱️ 23 minutes
⚡ What Is This?
The Rule of Thirds is a cheat code 🎮 that instantly makes your photos more interesting. Divide your frame into 9 equal parts (like noughts and crosses), place your subject on the lines or intersection points, and watch your photos transform.
Works for cameras 📷 and phones 📱. No jargon. Just results.
🎓 The 7 Essential Tips
📍 1. Position Your Subject
Put eyes on intersection points for portraits. Near the line is fine.
🏔️ 2. Landscape Horizons
Interesting sky? → Horizon on lower third
Interesting foreground? → Horizon on upper third
🏃 3. Action & Movement
Give moving subjects space to move into the frame.
⚠️ 4. Avoid These Mistakes
• Don't obsess over pixel-perfect alignment
• Don't forget about your background
• Don't use it mindlessly
🔓 5. When to Break the Rule
Symmetry, patterns, and tight portraits often work better centered.
🔗 6. Combine with Other Techniques
Use with leading lines, negative space, and framing.
🏛️ 7. Architectural Photography
Position buildings on vertical lines. Keep verticals vertical.
📋 Quick Recap
The Grid: 2 horizontal + 2 vertical lines = 9 equal parts
The Power Points: 4 intersection points where lines cross
The Default: Use it for everything until you know when to break it
🎬 Your Challenge
1️⃣ Turn on your grid (Settings → Camera → Grid)
2️⃣ Take 3 photos using the Rule of Thirds
3️⃣ Take the same 3 photos centered
4️⃣ Compare and see the difference
📱 Phone Users
iPhone: Settings → Camera → Grid ✅
Android: Camera app → ⚙️ → Grid Lines ✅
Pro Tip: Tap to focus on intersection points = perfect focus + composition! 🎯
