Simple Tips for Beginners iPhoneographers: Rule of Thirds

And I continue to share with you a very simple tips that can help make your photos better. As I already told you about focus and exposureAnd today I would like to tell you about the rule of thirds.

The photo was taken using the iPhone 5.

According to this rule, the image is divided into nine equal parts by two parallel horizontal and vertical lines. Thereby providing four "strong" points located at the intersection of these lines.

The most important part of the composition must be placed along these lines or at the intersection points. Then the picture becomes more interesting and more dynamic. You may have noticed that often, photographing the animals, left or right of them leave quite a lot of free space. Then the picture seems more spacious, and the animals can not be obtained "trapped in a cage."

Photographing the water surface, the frame is one-third filled with either air or water. The same thing happens when taking conventional landscape. The sky is filled with either one-third or two-thirds of the frame, depending on what effect the author wants to achieve. In addition, the line on which you will have the horizon, it will help you not to fill up.

You can experiment yourself by placing your main subject in the center or along the "strong" lines. In many cases, a compositional point of view, the better it will look like a frame in which the object will be moved to the side.

To understand where these are the strongest lines and points, you need to include in the settings "grid". To do this, go to Settings> Photo & Camera> Grid. Now, taking on the iPhone, you will always know where best to place the object you are interested in.

But never imposes on itself certain limits. Yes, making the next picture, you can remember the rule of thirds, and make it more interesting. But why there are rules? Of course, to be broken. Therefore, try, possibly subject in the center of the frame, on the contrary, will present it in a more favorable light.
