Rule of Thirds

       Rule of thirds is a way to set up the movement of the viewers eyes and and the focal points that they will focus on. It is important because it frames out out your picture better and can make the photo more pleasing on the eyes. Some cameras have the grid already on them, but if you don't you can just put two horizontal lines and two vertical lines on a clear sheet and get the correct grid.
        The photographer placed the deer on the right vertical with the grass ending at the bottom horizontal. The rule of thirds makes you want to look right to left, since the photographer left space to the left.
       To take this picture using rules of third, I lined up the vertical columns with the vertical grid lines and lined the top of the entrance with the top horizontal grid line. The focal points make the top of the entrance stand out and draws the viewers eyes to it.
