“Rule of Thirds” when shooting with iPhone: what it is and how to use it. Professional and amateur photographers are familiar with the so-called “rule of thirds”. This composition rule is a simplified version of the golden ratio and allows you to create emotionally rich photographs. According to the rule, the objects that you want to draw the viewer’s attention to should be located along the horizontal and vertical lines dividing the frame into thirds, or at their intersection.

In order to simplify the task for the photographer, the iPhone has a special grid that divides the frame into thirds with horizontal and vertical lines. Just go to “Settings” and in the “Camera” section, move the slider opposite the “Grid” option.
Now, when you take a photo with your iPhone, a grid will appear on the screen dividing the screen into nine rectangles.
When shooting landscapes, it is important to correctly position the horizon line. According to the “rule of thirds”, the horizon should be located along the bottom or top line, but in no case in the middle. Think carefully about what should take up more space in your picture, the earth or the sky. If you want to focus on the ground (trees, buildings, etc.), place the horizon along the top line, firs in the sky – along the bottom.
As you can see for yourself, everything is very simple. The Rule of Thirds is easy to use, but don’t forget that photography is an art and you can’t just follow dry rules here. Different situations require different composition.
