Learnt something new with that, I thought the ROT corresponded to the boxes, not the lines. Shal be giving it a try in future photo's

Just another thought - I have a D70, and now a D300 - the grid in the viewfinder runs along quarters, not thirds.
Bit of a missed opportunity?
Useful guide this. Why don't the manufacturers have a setting for a a 'Rule of Thirds Grid' for the viewfinder? I've never seen one that does, do any?
It's NOT a Rule!
It's a very simplistic suggestion.
In brief NO.
You can compose as you like, there are no hard and fast rules.

Sometimes things have names that may be slightly miss leading as with runner beans. They don't run at all!
Is there any tips on actually how to use the grid when taking the photo, i.e imagining the lines through the viewfinder?
How can you determine where the line is in relation to your subject? Is it pure guess work?

Thank you for that. I had often wondered what it meant. I thought it was just the horizontal lines.
