3. Portraits or landscapes

You can shoot horizontally or vertically, but remember that by shooting vertically, you can add more interest to long objects to emphasize their height. When shooting horizontally, you can emphasize width. If you can't decide which lens looks the best, do both at the same time, and then you can decide which is better during post-processing.

4. Space

In contrast to filling a composition, this is the opposite extreme -- creating a sense of space. As long as the use of a clean background, the subject using the rule of thirds or middle composition, can be more prominent expression of the meaning.

5. Horizontal and vertical

The main purpose of horizontal and vertical is to make the picture look more stable. When there are horizontal or vertical lines in the picture, try to make them horizontal and vertical. When shooting, you can use the edge of the viewfinder as a reference, or turn on the camera's reference. Of course, you can also make a second composition by cutting and perspective correction in the later stage.

If the picture looks good to you, don't stand still. Try changing the Angle, distance, or lens. The effect may be a whole new composition and perspective.
