[QUOTE="Dr Daniels, post: 48484, member: 9097"] A recurrent composition theme I find in photographic circles, is the over-abused Rule of Thirds. Of course, it is a more pleasant composition rule for the majority of visual arts, than the odd placed subject in the middle of the frame, or in the extreme corner of the frame. However, I think we generally exaggerate our use of this composition rule at the risk of limiting our creativity. There are other composition aids, which we should look at without limiting ourselves to them too. The Golden Ratio has been used in art and architecture since antiquity. Photographers like Steichen and Weston composed on the Golden Ratio. The four intersecting points on the Golden Ratio are closer to the center of the image than they are in the Rule of Thirds which often leads some critics to say that the 'Rule of Thirds' is not respected.
