The Rule of Thirds

NYIP Unit 2, Lesson 6 also covered "Developing Your Eye" which was about composing pictures.  Great composition is an essential of great photography.  It's what makes some photographs art. 

It's one of the many techniques, skills, and talents that I need to develop so I did some more reading on the topic.  

1. An article on PhotographyMad introduces10 Top Photography Composition Rules. 
2. Photography Composition Articles  has many articles about composition, including a 7 part tutorial on Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition.  (The title kind of gives away the contents of this site, doesn't it?)
3. Photoshop Essentials  has a Photoshop tutorial on cropping pictures using the Rule of Thirds.  
4. Composition: Rule of Thirds from Cambridge in Color discusses how to apply the Rule of Thirds while taking pictures and editing pictures.
5. Shootandeditmedia has an unusual music YouTube video called Application of the Rule of Thirds
