Unit 2 Activity 3



These photographs (both taken by Mitchel Kanashkevich) show great use of the rule of thirds. The subject is put into these spots because it is the most aesthetically pleasing area. Not only is it good to have a subject in one area of the rule of thirds, but for it to flow smoothly into two or more of these spots, as shown in the second picture.

These two images (top by Brent Stirton, bottom by Rainer Pfingst) do not follow the rule of thirds. It is not always necessary to put images into the rule of thirds, it would make photography much more boring if that was the only way to have a "good" photograph. Centering your subject, creating leading lines, having varying depths-of-visions, and many more elements of a photograph can make it work well.
