“Rule of thirds” is focus of VW Area Photography Club

By Rex Dolby

This picture illustrates use of the “rule of thirds”. This guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and focal point(s) should be placed where the lines intersect, rather than simply centering the subject in the picture.
