Photography Tutorial - How to frame a Photograph ? The Rule of Thirds ( 3rds ) Lesson

[ZakHussain01]

There's a rule for breaking rules.... Lol

[Konuvis]

Now one type of photo I tend to struggle with is a portrait/landscape. Say you're on holiday with the wife and she poses in front of a great landscape, you want that landscape but you also want to see the person. if you focus on the person then you cut out a ton of the landscape, but if you pull out for the landscape then the person can become very tiny and almost irrelevant...

How do you solve this?

[pioquintorodel]

3 is a mystery number. fibonacci sequence and the rule of third are all the same concept. thanks to Da vinci.

[pioquintorodel]

OMG dude if your a photographer you would know the history of rule of thirds.its all derived from Leonardo Da vinci, the fibonacci sequence which is applied in all aspects of arts,photogrAphy and film making. the fibonacci sequence focuses more on what we used today as rule of third.however the vid was educational. thanks!

[tonyblade1000]

Exactly right mate autofocus !

[lakshya0071]

i love you man..



[frenchkiss10121991]

How should I focus the eyes? In AF or MF???

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@frenchkiss10121991 You don't want to use MF. We pay big bucks for fast auto focus. We should utilize it.

[Babanghans]

@frenchkiss10121991 I think that is depend on situation....if you have plenty of time and want an extra detail I think go for the MF

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@Babanghans Manual focus doesn't add any additional detail. What you're doing with hands in 30 seconds, the camera does it in a fraction of a second. I'd spent over $2,200 on a lens because of it's fast focus. If you're doing macro, that's when you can manual focus because everything is magnified and the lens may not focus exactly where you want. Other than that... it's auto focus.

do you know how to show rules of 3rd's gridline on a cannon 40D? thanks. Great video

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@001TWagner I'm sorry I'm not sure because I've never used a Canon.

[pioquintorodel]

@001TWagner check on your setting,it will show the GRIDLINE.

[rizky0901XD]

what camera you have?

[Smalskin]

hat equiptment did you use in these?



[jpablobatista]

Thanks for these videos, i bought my first camera ever (a d7000) yesterday and im already taking some very nice pictures =)

Thanks again mate!

[adtdch]

Could u pls tell me how to have the grid lines in D-90? even I searched 4 it in the manual I couldn't find it.....

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@adtdch Unfortunately I don't own D90. I'm sorry, I couldn't help you.

[dudhbhat]

@adtdch google it! :) or youtube

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@dudhbhat You can do both but you'll find 100+ grid line pictures on google vs 6 on youtube. Heck even my video doesn't have a single grid line picture.

[swimkickrun05]

Can you do a video on how to make it as a freelance photographer and if it is a good job choice?

[tarlinam]

Hey dude, did a little research for you, apparently the Egyptions invented the rule of third.

[shutterbeast]

I'm a casual photogrpaher and this series of videos made it so easy to understand, EXPLAINED WELL!!! THANK YOU!

[hossienz]

good teaching. sound quality require improvement

[SharmyyBarmyy]

how would the rule of thirds apply if your doing a photo with more than one focus? say a picture of 4 people? would you then center it?

[SharmyyBarmyy]

@SharmyyBarmyy or is it best to merely play around and see what works best?

[vishwa1985]

great video

[Spanish0Soul]

You rock!

[stellaandlily4ever]

i could have done with some landscape tips, and using the thirds to create depth but certain focus/?? thanks though good vids :)

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@stellaandlily4ever You're right. This was my first tutorial. Sound quality was pretty bad too. I'll be doing a second part where I'll cover composition, angles etc. :)

[mike3648]

great video as always but sound quality in second half is poor. Maybe you can re-do it?

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@mike3648 I agree the sound quality is not good. It was the first time I recorded this narration. I figured it out what I was doing wrong. There will be another part on framing the photograph in which I'll talk about different angles specially when you're photographing kids and detail stuff like cake or party favors etc.

[myanointed1]

Great

[davips2]

Again, thank you!

[thethriftyblog]

Again, thank you for posting these videos! I've learned a bunch already!

[Trecester]

I watched all of your videos and you teach or explain so simple. It will really help me with my photography. I have 4/3 camera and hopefully step up to a full frame camera. I hope you continue to do these videos. I will definitely support you and watch.

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@Trecester Thank you Trecester! I will absolutely continue to do more videos. I want to cover topics that most people don't think about. People are confused when they're purchasing their first dslr. They always compare 2 models within their price range but nobody tells them that a owning a great lens is way more important. I want to cover everything from the very beginning to when you get to pro level. In return I'd like the viewers to leave feedback, rate and subscribe :)

[WickyGirl]

I like your videos. Really weird why you don't have many more views. I personally think you are good in explaining. Just plain and simple. I'll keep an eye on your channel, im seriously interested. So keep'm coming!

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@WickyGirl Thank you! I just started this channel that's why you don't see the views but the plan is cover beginners to pro level photography. Dos and don'ts. More videos coming up soon so keep an eye on them. Again, thanks for your kind words.

[delacruzneili]

@WickyGirl

Yes, I too wonder why there are just few who viewed his videos.. His are great stuffs and can be competitive enough to make an authoritative "YouTube School of Photography".....

[WickyGirl]

The rule of thirds was first written down by John Thomas Smith in 1797. In his book Remarks on Rural Scenery, Smith quotes a 1783 work by Sir Joshua Reynolds, in which Reynolds discusses, in unquantified terms, the balance of dark and light in a painting. Smith then continues with an expansion on the idea, naming it the "Rule of thirds":

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@WickyGirl I learned something new today. Thank you for looking this up. Thumbs up for doing the research.

[pioquintorodel]

@WickyGirl

actually all the persons you've mentioned didnt originated the rule of third. its basic its what you call fibonacci sequence by leonardo the vinci. the rule of third was derived on that sequence commonly used in photography & film making. just to add the info up.
