http://www.amateursnapper.com/photography/10-top-photography-composition-rules
The only rule in photography is that there are no rules. However, there are
many composition guidelines which can be applied in almost any situation, to
enhance the impact of a scene. Below are ten of the most popular and most widely
respected composition 'rules'.


Rule of Thirds
Imagine that your image is divided into nine equal segments by two vertical and two
horizontal lines. Try to position the most important elements in your scene along these lines,
or at the points where they intersect. Doing so will add balance and interest to your photo.
Some cameras even offer an option to superimpose a rule of thirds grid over the LCD screen,
making it even easier to use.


The most important elements (the horizon and the haystack)
are placed on or around the lines and points of intersection


Balancing Elements
Placing your main subject off-centre, as with the rule of thirds, creates a more
interesting photo, but it can leave a void in the scene which can make it feel empty. You
should balance the 'weight' of your subject by including another object of lesser
importance to fill the space.


The figure in this scene is balanced by the rocks in the foreground.


Leading Lines
When we look at a photo our eye is naturally drawn along lines. By thinking about how
you place lines in your composition, you can affect the way we view the image, pulling us
into the picture, towards the subject, or on a journey 'through' the scene. There are many
different types of line - straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial etc - and each can be used
to enhance our photo's composition.


The line of the chain leads the eye into the scene towards the boat.


Symmetry and Patterns
We are surrounded by symmetry and patterns, both natural and man-made, and they
can make for very eye-catching compositions, particularly in situations where they are not
expected. Another great way to use them is to break the symmetry or pattern in some
way, introducing tension and a focal point to the scene.


The symmetry of this scene is broken by the uneven staircase and the closed curtain.


Viewpoint
Before photographing your subject, take time to think about where you will shoot it
from. Our viewpoint has a massive impact on the composition of our photo, and as a
result it can greatly affect the message that the shot conveys. Rather than just shooting
from eye level, consider photographing from high above, down at ground level, from the
side, from the back, from a long way away, from very close up, and so on.

Background
How many times have you taken what you thought would be a great shot, only to find
that the final image lacks impact because the subject blends into a busy background?
The human eye is excellent at distinguishing between different elements in a scene,
whereas a camera has a tendency to flatten the foreground and background, and this can
often ruin an otherwise great photo. Thankfully this problem is usually easy to overcome
at the time of shooting - look around for a plain and unobtrusive background and compose
your shot so that it doesn't distract or detract from the subject.


The plain background in this composition ensures nothing distracts from the woman's face


Create Depth

Because photography is a two-dimensional medium, we have to choose our
composition carefully to conveys the sense of depth that was present in the actual scene.
You can create depth in a photo by including objects in the foreground, middle ground and
background. Another useful composition technique is overlapping, where you deliberately
partially obscure one object with another. The human eye naturally recognises these
layers and mentally separates them out, creating an image with more depth.


The tree stump in the foreground adds depth to what might otherwise be a flat scene.


Framing
The world is full of objects which make perfect natural frames, such as trees, archways
and holes. By placing these around the edge of the composition you help to isolate the
main subject from the outside world. The result is a more focussed image which draws
your eye naturally to the main point of interest.


The archway in this scene provides a natural frame for the ruin in the background.


Cropping
Often a photo will lack impact because the main subject is so small it becomes lost among the clutter of its surroundings. By cropping tight around the subject you eliminate the background 'noise', ensuring the subject gets the viewer's undivided attention.


By cropping in tightly on the eye, the viewer's attention is focussed fully on it.


Experimentation

With the dawn of the digital age in photography we no longer have to worry about film
processing costs or running out of shots. As a result, experimenting with our photos'
composition has become a real possibility; we can fire off tons of shots and delete the
unwanted ones later at absolutely no extra cost. Take advantage of this fact and
experiment with your composition - you never know whether an idea will work until you
try it.

Composition in photography is far from a science, and as a result all of the 'rules' above
should be taken with a pinch of salt. If they don't work in your scene, ignore them; if you
find a great composition that contradicts them, then go ahead and shoot it anyway. But
they can often prove to be spot on, and are worth at least considering whenever you are
out and about with your camera.
