RULES OF THIRD NOTES

• It is way better to take pictures not centered rather than the subject right in the middle
• this technique creates nine rectangles within the frame,ignore them 
• you have to focus on the lines not the rectangles
• this technique is useful when photographing horizons
• the horizon is pushed up or down depending on the effect you want
• the closer you are to the subject the more challenging it is to apply this rule
• place your subject to one side of the center of the image 
• some cameras provide a 3x3  overlay grid on the viewing screen to make it easier to use this rule
• this composition technique is a great way to improve your images
