Thanks Kayla. No matter how many pictures I take, I could always use a reminder.

The main rule to remember is that you don’t want a subject dead center – unless you pretty much fill the frame with it! I believe both are good rules of thumb – one thing a person could do is take two 4×6 transparencies and draw the two grids on them and then place them over your photos – if your photo matches up with one of them – it is all good.

Another thing to remember – sometimes it is good to break the rules… Thanks for the kind comments on the article.

Kayla, it helps so much to hear that camera is only 30% of the equation!! This is hope for me yet!!

It’s a great article about photography and actually I didn’t know about the quadrants rule. I was just wondering is there a difference between the two of them? You do notice that the focal points are at different places and there might be some kind of rule relating to which one would be best regarding the photo’s composition.

Thanks so much for the article and best wishes. :O)
