Composing Your Photos #2

5. When photographing moving subjects (like a fast car,) leave space in front of the direction it is travelling, so that it does not appear as it is leaving the photo.

6. Although horizons and vertical skyscrapers should be off-center, be sure to make sure that the lines aren't tilted!

7. Keep the backgrounds as simple as possible. Cluttered backgrounds distract the audience from the main subject. As far as possible, choose backgrounds with homogeneous colours.
