Photography: Rule of Thirds December 2, 2008
Whenever you go to take a picture, move your camera. Rule of Thirds is a very basic element in photography that teaches photographers to get out of the narrow concept that everything needs to be dead center.
The Rule of Thirds is a good principle to keep in mind when arranging your subject matter within your photo: Imagine two horizontal and two vertical lines dividing your photo into thirds with four intersecting points—just like a tic-tac-toe board. The Rule suggests that you place your main subject where the lines cross rather than centered in the frame, and situating the horizon on the upper or lower line usually makes a well-composed landscape photo. For portraits, placing the person’s face where lines cross can make a more compelling photo than if the person is centered. – http://blog.webshots.com/?p=715
