Rule Of Thirds 

The rule of thirds means mentally dividing up your images into two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. You then position the main feature of the scene on one of the lines or points where they meet. Often you have to move around to find the best composition to take a photo by doing this it encourages you to think carefully about whether or not the rule of thirds is being used correctly.  

The rule of thirds is a useful technique within photography because it makes an image look more natural and pleasing to the eye.

  

This image uses the rule of thirds as the main focus point is the street crossing, more specifically the yellow and blue road sign. This is using the rule of thirds by having a main focus point that catches the eye. It is located right in the centre of the image and naturally this draws your eye.
I don't like this image because i feel like there is too much back ground and even though the main focus point is clear  

This second image is using the rule of thirds by having its main focus point on the first vertical line and the second horizontal line. The image draws attention easily because the background of the image is negative space and does not distract the eye.
I like this image because its simple but very effective and clearly shows the use of the rule of thirds.




This image uses the rule of thirds by having its main focus point on the second vertical line but in between the two horizontal lines. this is eye catching and shows the skills of the rule of thirds.
I like this image; it is striking however i don't like how dark and contrasting the image is.




Some of my own:

I think this image displays the urban environment and the rule of thirds because if you divided the picture up with four lines the phone box would be to the left side and is the main focus point of the picture.    

I think this image shows the rule of thirds because the lamppost is to the right however there are two lampposts in the image and a bit of distracting background therefore the rule of thirds is not completely clear.

I think this image shows the rule of thirds in a un obvious way because the signpost is towards the right of the image however it is not your main focus point as there is distraction within the picture.

This image shows the rule of thirds because the "no smoking" sign is at the top of the image and the rest of the image is a normal brick background so the sign is a clear focus point.

The rule of thirds isn't shown here clearly because the image is cropped and even though the door would be the main focus point and is to the left, if you drew lines over it it would not makes a specific rule of thirds.  

The rule of thirds is shown here as the tree trunk is central therefore being the main focus point, furthermore the tree trunk would be inbetween the two vertical lines and through the centre of three horizontal lines. This image is not only rule of thirds but it also has a strong depth of field and colour contrasts.

Here displays the rule of thirds however not to strongly; the drain pipe is on the left hand side and the rest of background is mostly just brick.

Rule of thirds is featured here in two ways. The first way being the main focus point which is the London eye. It is strongly prominent to the left just before the first vertical line. The second way is because you can see the Big Ben in the background  of the image this is also rule of third as it would be in the first vertical line and the first horizontal line. There are strong contrasts throughout which make this image attractive to the viewer







This image has the rule of thirds displayed as the main focal point is the giraffe. This is right in the centre between the two vertical lines.













Here the rule of thirds is shown as the buildings are all lined across the first horizontal line, this image also has a strong depth of field and colour contrasts. The main focus point are the buildings.
