Rule Of Thirds And Depth Of Field

Rule of Thirds.

The rule of thirds breaks down a image into thirds horizontally and vertically so it has 9 parts. This is used as a guideline for important elements in the photographs. The theory is that the points of interest are placed in the intersections or along the lines, so that the photograph becomes balanced.

Depth of Field.

 

Sometimes only part of the subject in a photograph appears sharp. The depth of field is the zone of sharpness, but it doesn't abruptly change from sharp to unsharp. Everything in front or behind the depth of field loses sharpness.

I am going to try and apply these theories to any photographs I personally take.
