Exploring the Rule of Thirds
1. Why do you think it is a good idea to understand a rule prior to breaking it?
"If you intend to break a rule you should always learn it first to make sure your breaking of it is all the more effective!"
If you learn it then you'll have knowledge about why you shouldn't break the rule. And all the effects and causes will be visible to you allowing you to understand fully how this "rebellion" will damage your photo and/or camera.
2. When applying the Rule of Thirds, how many sections do you create? how many intersections?
You have 9 different and separate sections. Out of those 9 sections only 4 intersections are made.
3. Why does placing the subject at the intersection or along a line feel more natural to the viewer?
"Studies have shown that when viewing images that people’s eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the center of the shot"
I believe that it feels more natural to them because there is something in them budging for perfection.
4. When photographing a landscape, where should the horizon line be placed?
"..landscape shots is to position horizons along one of the horizontal lines also as I’ve done with the following shot."
5. What are two questions you might want to consider when composing an image?
