Photo Composition

Snapshot: is a quick, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time.
photograph: an image taken with care and thought.

rules of composition 
rule of thirds: imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontal and vertically.

• Place your subject where these lines intersect.
• Place the horizontal line ar the top or the bottom not in middle.
• Or fill up the entire frame with the subject for a close up image.

leading lines:use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewer's eye through the photo.

• Lines can draw attention to one or more intended subjects or a single focal point.

Point of view: change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position. 

• if your photographing a subject that you want to seem very tall, compose the shot so that the camera is looking upwards.
• and vice versa (down)

Simplicity: keep your background simple and clear of clutter.

• the mood and the effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background 
• A chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away.
