  1. Always keep your horizons (any horizontal lines) level in your photographs, otherwise your shots will appear crooked.
  2. Many people mistakenly put the main points of interest in the centre of their photographs. Keep the main points of interest away from the centre, and from the extreme edges of your shots.
  3. Don't shoot everything from a standing position. Look for interesting angles by changing the camera positions.
  4. Try to avoid empty space in your photographs.
