1) Cell phone use:
Current smartphones have cameras that allow very good quality shots. They are a great tool for practicing composition photograph and other photographic techniques. In addition, the digital factor allows easy manipulation of images which has been taken.
2) Take the camera to a Walking:
Usually the camera is hidden in the house. The key to getting a good photograph is «shooting» many times. Photographers who work for large transmissions such as National Geographic, take thousands of photographs for each request. They extract of them less than a dozen to be published.
3) Rule of Three:
In simple words, at the moment of preparing the photograph, has to imagine that the image is divided into nine equal segments which are separated by two horizontal and two vertical lines. The key is to focus the object to be photographed just where the lines are intersected. That will put it in an interesting focus.
4) Management of lines:
The human eye naturally tends to seek lines in what it sees. Its strategic use in the photograph composition can create scenes of high drama, guiding us to the subject or to the portrayed space. One example is the diagonal lines, which give the impression of fluid movement.

5) Patterns and symmetry:
A good way to achieve harmony in the frame is to achieve representation of symmetry in a photo. Also, can be used other element that suddenly breaks the symmetry, creating a focus on photography.
6) To experiment:
«The composition is important, but the rules are made to be broken,» Steve McCurry advises, one of the most famous photographers in the area. Photograph from a determined point of view, from a particular location, with specific light; It all serves at the moment to learn and achieve the desired composition.
7) Background:
It may be that the central subject of the composition can be confused with the background, which is behind it creating noise in the image. To prevent the view is missed away from the focus of the photograph is important to look for a background that does not hinder or «dirty» the painting.

8) Depth:
The sense of depth in the photograph and a two-dimensional support can be achieved by positioning objects in the background or in front of focus. Another technique is to get dark an object with overlapping of another that is before it.
