Composition Rules in Digital Photography
How to take better photos by applying Composition Rules
What are the key elements of a picture?
There are two main elements in a photo which everyone notices first: Exposure and Composition . There are many, many cameras on the market which allow some sort of control over the exposure, but I won’t get into a discussion about exposure here.
The next key element for better photos is Composition. There are established rules and guidelines for composition which you can apply or modify, which is a fun fact about composition rules. In almost all cases it is the composition which attracts a viewer to stay longer and really look at a photo. Here are some samples of the importance of composition.

Same scene as the picture below and this time I used camera in Portrait orientation.
Just by changing the camera orientation you can create two completely different photos. In this photo I used Landscape Orientation.
Applying Composition Rules can add the depth to your image. In this photo I used FRAMING to add the depth to the picture
Applying Rule of Thirds is one of the basic composition rules yet very powerful
