Basic+Composition+Guidelines

=Composition Guidelines=
 * • Rule-of-Thirds – Divide the picture area into thirds vertically and horizontally and center the subject at one of the intersections of the lines of the imaginary tic-tac-toe grid. || [[image:comp-3rds.jpg]] ||
 * • Lines - Use diagonal and curved lines to create the illusion of depth. || [[image:comp-lines.jpg]] ||
 * • Simplicity - Have one clear subject and keep the background uncluttered. || [[image:comp-simp.jpg]] ||
 * • Framing - Use objects in the foreground, on one or more edges of the picture area to frame the subject. || [[image:comp-frame.jpg]] ||
 * • Balance - An aesthetically pleasing integration of elements. The photo should not appear weighted to one side. || [[image:comp-bal.jpg]] ||
 * • Mergers - Avoid having objects that are not connected look like they are connected. || [[image:comp-merge.jpg]] ||
