Off center composition…
For those of you who never excelled in art or never even took an art class, this is for you. When photographing, your main subject does not always have to be in the center of the frame. As a matter of fact it is much more aesthetically pleasing to have you subject “off center”. To do this, divide your frame up with imaginary lines into thirds, horizontally and vertically. Your subject should then be placed on one of these thirds or both. For example a sunset horizon should fall on the bottom third or top third of the frame. A child or pet, could be set off to one side, try to get the eyes (the focus point) in to the horizontal frame, so you are using both thirds and making it even more pleasing to look at.
