I wanted to write a brief post on photography and how to ensure your photos have some artistic flair.
For any trained photographers, you may want to skip this post as it is very basic but for the general populace, this tip can really come in handy.
Use the rule of thirds . . . that is to say, imagine two lines splitting your picture into 3 even pieces, vertically. Now try to position your subject on either of those lines. Or, if he doesn't belong way over there, maybe a prop or secondary feature can be moved over the lines.
The rule of thirds isn't limited to vertical lines, imagine your picture with two horizontal lines. If you are photographing a couple on a beach, place the ocean near either of the two lines. Of course this is just a rule of thumb, it isn't a law it's a tool. There are guidelines, but use it in whichever form works for you.
While many nice photos utilize that rule of 1/3s, there are still more that skew it or just don't take it into consideration and those can end up being quintessential pieces of art. It depends on what audience you are trying to communicate to and what you are communicating. Try it out and see how it works for you.
Oh, and keep your eyes open. I'm sure you will find many examples of photographers using this rule.
