The imagainary line are drawn dividing the image into thrids both horizontly and vertically, you place the important elements of your composion where these lines intersect as shown in the diaram above.



The Rule of Thirds is probably one of the cardinal rules of composition. Mentally divide your viewfinder or LCD screen into thirds, using two vertical and two horizontal lines to create nine smaller rectangles and four points where the lines intersect. It has been repeatedly shown that by placing objects over these intersections, a pleasing and balanced arrangement often results, whether the composition is horizontal or vertical. When an image's center of interest is placed at one of these intersections, balance in the picture can often be achieved by placing a secondary object known as a counterpoint at the opposing intersection.
