We like the saying "Rules exist to be broken". But you should not be guided by it unconditionally. Beginners still need to pay special attention to the compositional principles of photography. After all, in order to break the rules, they must first be studied up and down.

Rule of thirds: 21 photos with excellent composition

The rule of thirds and the golden ratio are the basic principles of composition construction, which most often begin training in all photography courses. Some amateur photographers try to avoid them like the plague, looking for non-standard compositions to give the frames an original look and unlike the work of colleagues.

But the fact is that many of the most popular photos uploaded to 500px are created in compliance with the rule of thirds and the golden ratio. Don't you believe it? Here are more than twenty insanely popular images from the 500px archives, which are perfectly compiled according to all the basic principles.
