Rule of Thirds

Photography is a very good time pass activity. As a hobby, it entails a lot of expense, in terms of both time and money. But when you see a nice photograph you’ve clicked, it makes you feel all warm and nice inside.
But you can’t just buy a camera and go. There are certain rules and techniques that one must be familiar with to be able to take a technically sound photograph. The first of these rules is called the rule of thirds. This says that when the photograph’s frame is divided by two vertical and horizontal lines, the subject of the photograph should be placed at any of the points where the lines intersect. This makes the photo compositionally better to look at.
