Rule Of Thirds
Rule of thirds is a basic photography technique as a guide in the off-center placement of your subjects. Below how it's work.
Before you snap the picture, imagine your picture area divided into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The intersections of these imaginary lines suggest four options for placing the center of interest for good composition. The option you select depends upon the subject and how you would like that subject to be presented.I don't have a Digital Single Lense Reflect (DSLR) camera how do I apply this technique?
You can apply this technique in any camera either it is a point of shoot digital camera or even your phone camera! Most point and shoot (PNS) digital camera nowdays do have setting at the menu whereby you can see the LCD screen divide into 3 horizontal and 3 vertical as you were aiming for a subject. See below.
