Composition
Composition refers to the arrangement of the objects in the frame. A good composition will make the image more pleasing. Thinking about where the objects in the photo are placed is very important. Below are some photos I made in black and white. I tried to make simple compositions using strong shapes.

Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a way framing the composition so it is divided into three sections across the horizontal and vertical lines. Placing objects on these imaginary lines makes it easier to create good compositions. The object being photographed can be along any of the lines, but is often best placed where two of the lines cross. Most modern cameras will allow you to add a grid over the viewfinder to help with composition.
