The Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a rudimentary principle in photography, it basically tells how you should compose a shot. To make it short, imagine that the image you are going to shoot is a big blank tic tac toe box. Naturally, neophytes would shoot it dead middle or off focus. The trick is shoot the subject within the intersections of the lines(marked by the red circle on the image above). This prevents the whole image from having too much empty space. Studies show that the eyes naturally focus across those intersections not on the middle, but breaking the rule once in a while would also be a worthwhile endeavor as it promotes experimentation and enjoyment!
