After reading 5 or so photography books, you hear the 1/3 rule. If you haven’t you are reading the wrong photography books. Nevertheless, if you don’t know now you know. I use this rule 90% of the time. You ask why? Well this rule allows you to clearly identify the subject in your photograph. The key to a good photograph is to provide a clear message through your subject and your background. The best way to identify the subject is to ensure that it is a 1/3 of the frame.
p.s. Most prosumer grade digital SLR cameras have an option to turn on grids on the viewfinder. I have to say from my own personal experience is great to help visualize a 1/3 of the frame.
