  16. Rule of Thirds • With the rule of  thirds, you mentally divide the crop area with two evenly spaced vertical lines and two evenly spaced horizontal lines, creating a grid of nine sections. • To create a pleasing composition, the primary focal point of the image should fall at one of the line intersections.

  17. Framing • Placement of the center of interest in a photograph according to the other elements in the photograph.

  18. Proximity • Distance between camera and subject. Stare. Get up close and personal. Don't let subject get swallowed up in surrounding landscape.

  19. Vantage Point • Bend your knees or raise yourself up to get picture. Abandon your normal vantage point and experiment with shooting from different angles É below, above, inside, outside. Shoot from other than your eye level.
