    Thanks Andrew. That was a very interesting take on the rule of thirds. It is talked about so much, but this was the deepest dive I remember. Love it. I want more deep dives like this. So wonderful. Thanks again Andrew.

    I am guilty of this exact trap, and never realized. Total eye opener. Thank you so much for this brilliant and in-depth explanation. Look forward to learning more from you!

    Hearing the Rule of Thirds referenced in cinematic terms makes a lot of sense. And YES! I'd love to see more clips from your photography course. This is incredibly helpful and insightful.

    You're right, sometimes I used rule of thirds just to use it, without any reason. Negative space looked empty, but I didn't know how to fix it. Thanks for telling us about this problem!

    Super insightful! i feel like i end up using it in the way of balance if there's a lot of stuff to put in the frame, but have def used it as a just because to. Gave me a lot to think here!

    I watched this the night before a big event. It did help me break out of the rule of thirds trap. Photos that strictly adhere to it feel generic and it was getting boring to me. Just a tiny little change in how wide I shoot and slight repositioning of the subjects in frame makes all of the difference.
