The rule of thirds is used in order to frame a shot. The image is divided into nine equal parts with two equally spaced out horizontal lines and two vertical. The technique allows the subject to be aligned in these points in order to create more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.
Above is an example of the rule of thirds in use the rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section. The main reason for observing the rule of thirds is to discourage placement of the subject in the center of the shot, or prevent a horizon from appearing to divide the picture in half as you can see the bee is focused on the right of the fame but the centre is primarily between the two vertical lines in the middle.
