The rule of thirds is when you take a photograph and split in into thirds both diagonally and vertically so you have nine sections. The point of the rule of third's is to place points of interest in the intersections of the four lines. This creates a more balanced feel in the picture rather than a photo that is dead centered which is uninteresting to the eye. Some questions to ask yourself when you are first becoming acquainted with this rule of thirds are: What are the points of interest in this shot? Where am I intentionally placing them? You don't always have to use the rule of thirds in a photo. Sometimes breaking the rule can result in a great picture but you should learn how to use the rule before breaking it. It's also a good thing to experiment with breaking to see what kind of shots you get. Rule of thirds is also a good thing to keep in mind when editing. Sometimes there might be things in the photo that are distracting from what you are trying to displace. Cropping will help get rid of those things and help the image to become more interesting.
