This pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast dis­cusses the rule of thirds in pho­tog­ra­phy. This rule‚which is more of a guide­line sug­gests that you divide the image that you see through your viewfinder into equal thirds so that it resem­bles a tic-tac toe board. Depend­ing on what the objects of inter­est are, you can place them along the divid­ing lines or at one of the 4 OFF-CENTER points as illus­trated in the square dia­gram below. Doing this gen­er­ally improves your pho­to­graphic composition.

In these exam­ple images below you can prob­a­bly see that the off cen­ter shots are more inter­est­ing or appeal­ing. The cen­tered shot of the gar­den statue should appear less appeal­ing than the non cen­tered shot.
