Leading Lines:
The “leading line” draws your eye deeper into the photograph, and to the main subject. The leading lines also direct your eye to an area of the photo that might not have been noticed otherwise. You have to be careful using leading lines. You don’t want them to distract the viewer or lead them away from the main subject.
Here’s a photograph of Death Valley, California. In this photo, there are a lot of lines leading up to the top of the mountain. The lines keep your eyes moving up the image. Lines can also go horizontal or vertical. Leading lines can also be rivers, roads, tree branches, bridges, or even building architecture: Diagonal leading lines are the most dynamic. You can use them to create a strong impression of movement or you can use them to create a sense of depth. All images are created with lines some vertical, horizontal and others converging. Knowing how to place them affects the mood and composition of the final image. The easiest way to create diagonals is simply by tilting your camera.
Horizontal lines often denote a sense of rest and peace.
Rule of Thirds:
The “rule of thirds” is the most recognised rule of composition used in photography. The rule of thirds states that the photo can be divided into three horizontal and three vertical sections. Photographs usually work better when the area of interest is placed off-center.
This photograph uses the rule of thirds.
The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds so that you have 9 parts.
You should consider placing points of interest in as you frame your image.
Not only this – but it also gives you four ‘lines’ that are also useful positions for elements in your photo.
The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.
“Framing” natural surroundings thoughtfully can add more meaning and focus to your subject. The surrounding can be just about anything, from tree branches, bushes, and even doorways. Perspective:
Sometimes a change of perspective can add impact to a photograph. Try crouching down, or moving to the left or right. Better yet, try to take a photo from a different angle.( Anything less than 40mm in focal length is considered a wide-angle lens.( You could even invest in a fisheye lens, which will give you a whole new perspective on everything:Colour:

Colour in a photograph can create emotion and mood. Blues and greens are cool. Yellow and orange are warm colours etc. You can also use colors to create certain effects. Like the “wow” factor when colors jump out at you:Aperture is referred to the lens diaphragm opening inside a photographic lens. Depth of field, aperture and focusing distance, although print size and viewing distance can also influence depth of field.
f/8.0 f/5.6 f/2.8
Angle of View is the amount of a scene a photograph captures and can be measured vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Also known as field of view and angle of view.
telephoto lenses are for enlarging distant images, they can normalize the size and distance difference between near and far objects.
