Concepts in Photography
Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling
compositions. Below are a few examples.
Photos with two subjects
If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced
composition. You can stabilize the photo by capturing a second subject in
the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo.

Unstable Stable
When taking landscape photos, centering the horizon will create an
unbalanced eect. Give more weight to the photo by moving the horizon
up or down.
