Discover: The Rule of 3rds The rule of 3rds states that an image can be divided into 9 equal parts.The 4 points formed by the intersections of theses lines can be used to align features in the image. This technique creates tension, energy, and interest. The horizon sits at the horizontal line dividing the lower third of the photo from the upper two-thirds. The tree sits at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point. Points of interest in the photo don't have to actually touch one of these lines to take advantage of the rule of thirds. For example, the brightest part of the sky near the horizon where the sun recently set does not fall directly on one of the lines, but does fall near the intersection of two of the lines, close enough to take advantage of the rule. 7 8.
