This states that, no matter how much you want to, DO NOT PUT EMPHASIS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR PICTURE. The truth is, sometimes it works, but your picture is so much more interesting when you follow the rule of thirds. This is how:
1. Get any picture
2. Divide the picture into three sections on each side (a total of nine small sections)
3. If your emphasis is in the fifth square counting from left to right
OR if you can split the picture in half and its the same on each side, it is NOT following the rule of thirds.
Look at the pictures below and you'll see why you should follow the rule of thirds.
A little cropping to make it so the emphasis isn't in the middle, and the second picture looks so much more interesting. This is because -consciously or unconsciously- your eye is being guided up and to the right of the paper, instead of looking straight at the middle; it makes you have to look at it a little more.
