Funny coincidence: I was in the exact same spot where the photo from the hiking trip in Germany was taken (Sächsische Schweiz, near Idagrotte) just this weekend and it was the first day that I tried to pay attantion to the rule of thirds.
To be honest, I highly doubt as you were taking these photos you were even thinking about the "rule of thirds." Take 8:14 for example (pause at that point in the video), you drew the pink lines to conveniently cover the shadows and the people, but the lines weren't even evenly drawn into thirds. As @Cliff Sheets said, you do this again and again.
Getting into photography, love your videos! I guess you have gone out of Berlin already? I live in Berlin now and I am looking for some photography course or collective to join in. But first will watch all your videos! They are fantastic!
It's not about those 'thirds' it's more about don't put the main object of interest right in the middle look at the whole picture. Those thirds are just there because they're not the center and not the edge either. Look at the whole picture move the camera around a little bit until it feels right and then take the picture.
Great video. Easy to understand. Does the rule of thirds only apply when taking photos of people? Or is it applied to everything in general? Thank you.
Hey David, thanks for your comment, glad you like the video. You can use the rule of thirds for anything you shoot: photos & videos; humans, animals, landscapes, etc. Good luck in your shooting!
I don't understand how you are drawing the rule of thirds lines when they aren't splitting the picture evenly into thirds. You do it over and over again. For example 7:30 The bottom "third" is much bigger than the top "third" and your left "third" is bigger than your right "third". The 8:13 picture is even worse!
I have found this very helpful even though i don't usally use the rule of thirds but the pictures where perfect and went with what you were talking about. I love how you put that most of the time heavy things are in the middle
I like that you just chose these random pics you took in daily time to teach us, making people feel not so under stress to always take amazing pics only when there is a very good view. the more important things is to just grab your camera and start shooting in daily life
No offense at all but for some criticism, the desert photo lacks any real foreground, and when you apply the rule of thirds the sky takes so much of the area it really effects your composition as a whole. The bike lock picture is super boring I like the composition tho, I think it would have been a much more interesting photo if it would have been shot at at least f/2.4 to really blur out the background while keeping the midground blured out moderately. Just my .02
you should try portrait mode when taking picture of subject that are "directed" by vertical line. and the rule of thirds is a bad rule to follow, a very lazy rule.
Hasta para dividir una tarta hay que saber geometría... Primero divide bien el espacio en tres partes iguales vertical y horizontalmente... Y luego continúa con la explicación.
This is definitely THE BEST explanation of the Rule of Thirds I’ve seen! Very well explained, and easy to follow! Thank you!
Amazing tutorial ❤ loved it ❤
You are a great teacher!

Your horizontal strips don't divide the frame equally.
When filming or photographing with 21:9 aspect ratio, is it necessary to adjust the horizontal lines or can I use the 16:9 raster?
BTW: Nice video.
6:53 casually rides bike through busy airport everyday xD
It's the Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin. It was closed as an airport and opened to the public a couple of years ago. Pretty cool actually.

So what happened do you become photographer
A very informative video. Thank you!
I watched all of your videos, great job man!

It's more of a guideline than a rule. He said as much on his bike seat photo. The thirds aren't perfect because he's drawing them in real time.
He had to "ADJUST" the lines because they weren't hitting his Granny properly. But by all means follow the Rule of 3rds -- lol.
I love it so much❤️️❤️️❤️️
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
You're the Best❤️️❤️️❤️️
thank you . All your videos are really well made and extremely useful

Damn, s’mores for a wedding? Best Grandma ever!

amazing! Didactic and really interesting!!
on of the things i knew without knowing it
Good examples. Thanks for posting
reply if u r doing this for school rn
@Charif Elchurafa falcon cove?
Already know all this, so boring watching again and no one like this video, it confuses my classmates
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
What thirds?
excellent tips. thank you.
Glad we could help! Let us know if there is anything else that you want to learn!

He mentioned it was boring, and taken with his phone.
Thank you.
superb .................
Nice video, thanks!
But are you sure that you have been hiking in Germany? ;-)
Since they have no mountains?!
Possibly he was hallucinating and didn't remember where he hiked.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mountain_and_hill_ranges_in_Germany
Easy and helpful tips ^0^ thanks
+Ena Sim Check my videos, would love your opinion
Very very good thanks vincent boyle
very bad examples, does not corresponding with what you are saying. The lines you are drawing are completely off.
+accordeonist Check my videos, would love your opinion
accordeonist qq
accordeonist i agree with you. One of the pictures is more of leading line rather than rule of third. This tutorial is definitely confusing
hi
He tells you why he does.
They're just fucking lines lol...
you should try portrait mode when taking picture of subject that are "directed" by vertical line. and the rule of thirds is a bad rule to follow, a very lazy rule.
this is awesome rule of third now i got it
I become a photo editor for facebook.com/ClipSense without learning photography first. This is very important to me..
#RoT amateurs - bring your photos to the next level. Say NO to centering.
good video
U over complicate things

Bro your division is not equal
Can u explain more on rule of third it's confusing more
Hey Harry: Maybe just a look at the Wikipedia article will help you out? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds
+harry creator Check my videos, would love your opinion
+Shane Thomas McMillan Thx Shane
