The Rule of Thirds

For this assignment we researched the "rule of thirds" method and tried to use it to help us position our frames. Before taking the picture we divided what we saw through our lens into three parts. (imagine a tic-tac-toe looking grid running through what you see) In order for us to come out with a good composition, we had to place the main object of the photo into one corner of the intersecting lines on the imaginary grid. With moving objects or objects that were long, we learned that you have to make sure it has room to "move" within the photograph. There has to be room to elongate the path of the object.
