Rule of Thirds

It seems intuitive to shoot something according to the Rule of Thirds. Things look a bit off when they're at the direct center or far side of the image. The rule just affirms this shared aesthetic. Sometimes jarring that aesthetic is good, though. It gets boring following the rules all of the time. There's interest in the strange. Not knowing the rule and breaking it then, probably won't create great images. You may get a couple if you shoot enough. But in the interest of efficiency, you should know what you're doing.
