5J photography
In our Photography lesson Mr. Shanagher taught us about “The Rule of Thirds”.
This is a photography rule that takes the idea of a grid in each photo and places the subject of the image in the left or right 3rd of the picture to make it more interesting.
We are looking forward to using this…
