What is meant by the term “Rule of Thirds”?

The term Rule of Thirds is the way our eyes breaks down an image to thirds due to the way it’s been made and function. It splits the image into 9 equal boxes (3 horizontal and 3 vertical) to justify the image more clearly in an image, our eyes get drawn into the left side of the image. This is because our eyes feel more comfortable and it’s been design to focus on the left side of the image directly. 

Examples of rule of thirds

Above, I have two examples of Rule of Thirds. These two images clearly shows how the image its split into thirds. By using the Rule of Thirds, it forms and advantage for the photographers to catch the audience attention by getting their eyes drawn into the image (left to right). This is a very effective method to convey meaning to the audience because its creative and magnificent.
