The Rule of Thirds is one of the most fundamental concepts in photo composition. And if you understand what it really means then you'll know when to use it….and when to break it. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Howdy! I’m Josh Cripps, head photo nerd here at Pro Photo Tips. I discovered nature photography in late 2006 and was instantly and irreversibly hooked. Somewhere along the way I discovered that I love teaching other photographers all the little tips, tricks, and chunks of knowledge I’ve learned over the years. And while I do love teaching workshops, in 2014 I decided I wanted to reach more photographers, and to help photographers around the world improve their skills. I recorded a few videos for YouTube and before I knew it they were surging in…

If you want to take “good,” photos these days, there are a few crucial things that you need to have under control. First - and most importantly - you need to have the knowledge and skills necessary to plan, compose, and create a compelling image. That’s always been true, but modern photographic technology has eliminated a lot of the barriers that used to hold back many aspiring photographers. Which brings us to the second critical element of mastering photography: your gear. In the past, that mostly meant having a high-quality camera and lens, and knowing how to capably use them both. But these days, like it or not, your computer is probably just as important as your camera. That holds true whether you simply need some way to get your…

We speak to young South African photographer, Caleb Shepherd, whose images reflect the beauty and variety of Africa at its best. Coining himself "a child of Africa", Caleb says he was born with the sun on his back and the open plains before his eyes - plains that teamed with wildlife. You can truly see his love for Africa reflected in his incredible images! Photographic Speciality/Style: I have a wide range of subject interests and enjoy experimenting with different subject matters and photographic styles, so I don’t think I have a specific style and I think it is too early in my career to describe any of my work as being a “specialty”. My aim is to try to capture the essence of the subject matter in whatever it is…

The Rule of Thirds is one of the simplest composition rules out there, but it can make a real difference to your shots. It’s the basis for well-balanced shots and is a great starting point for photographers to learn about how to effectively compose their shots. It's important to know when to use the rule of thirds and also when to break it! The basic idea of the rule of thirds is to break down a photograph into thirds both horizontally and vertically, like so: As you can see from the diagram on the left, the nine rectangles also give you four intersection points. These are where you should place your points of interest in your photo. Some cameras have a rule of thirds grid that you can overlay on…
