Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the rule of thirds in photography composition?
Correct Answer: The rule of thirds helps in creating balanced and interesting photos.
  • Step 1: Imagine your photo frame is divided into 9 equal sections by drawing 2 horizontal lines and 2 vertical lines.
  • Step 2: These lines create 4 intersection points where the lines cross.
  • Step 3: Instead of placing your main subject in the center of the frame, position it along one of the lines or at one of the intersection points.
  • Step 4: This helps create a more balanced and interesting composition in your photo.
