Don ’ t shoot a close -‐ up with a wide -‐ angle lens .
When you shoot a close-up with a wide-angle lens , you distort the objects closest to the camera , but sometimes that ’ s what you want .
Don ’ t have more than one center of interest .
If you have a wonderful scene with interesting elements , like in this figure , you can have multiple centers of interest . When done correctly , the multiple centers of interest direct the viewer ’ s eye around the photo .
Keep the camera level .
You can break this rule when you have a strong horizontal element in the scene . Align the camera so that the horizontal element is diagonal and take a picture .
When in doubt , compose the picture by following the rules , and then take another picture that breaks those rules . When you examine them side -‐ by -‐ side , you ’ ll know which one is best .
