Rule of Thirds
1. Why do you think it is a good idea to understand a rule prior to breaking it? It is a good idea to have a knowledge of the rule so that you know its effect on an image and the composition of an image before you can create a different effect and points of interest on the image by breaking the rule.
2. When applying the Rule of Thirds, how many sections do you create? how many intersections? The Rule of Thirds is made of 9 parts, or sections, with 4 intersections.
3. Why does placing the subject at the intersection or along a line feel more natural to the viewer? Viewers naturally look at the intersections of the image, rather than the center, allowing them to interact with the image more. The Rule of Thirds works naturally with the viewer's eye rather than working against it.
4. When photographing a landscape, where should the horizon line be placed? The horizon line should be placed along the horizontal lines.
5. What are two questions you might want to consider when composing an image? The questions to consider are what your points of interest are and where you are going to place them.
