PICTURE N 1 PICTURE N 2
I want to explain the rule of thirds on the example of two photos taken by me.
According to the rule of thirds the picture N1 is taken correctly. The material object - the lamp- occupies one third of the picture. This proportion makes the picture more attractive. The stick of the lamp coincides with the vertical line and the bed behind it sits right at the horizontal line. These two objects - the bed and the lamp- are meeting at the intersection of two lines - horizontal and vertical. Lamp, which is the brightest object in the picture sits in the crash point/power point of the picture.
Picture N 2 do not fall into proportions of the rule of thirds. The bed is lower the horizontal line and the the lamp is more centered. Nothing in this picture coincides with the lines. The intersection of the lamp and bed, their power point is positioned below the lower horizontal line.
This rule mostly apply when the artist wants to break a length of a wall or any other object which seems to be disproportionally long.
The ratio of two thirds to one or vice verse is a more harmonizing proportion than the usual half. This rule was first written by John Thomas Smith in 1797.
