The rules of composition are not rules. The rules of composition are guidelines, ideas, things that we can use to help us. But you need to know what the rules of composition are so you know which rules you are going to use, if any. You don’t have to use the rules of composition, and you will never use all of them. Certainly not in the same photo, but you will see why, so don’t worry. Find the ones that work for you, and they can help you get better compositions. And better compositions make better photos.

So, if you want to learn how to create better compositions, listen on.

In this episode, I tell you 

• What are the rules of composition?
• A big long list of the rules.
• Why they aren’t really rules.
• Why the rule of thirds is so important.
• What rules do I use?
• Some things that you can do – yes, you, dear listener

I also tell you

• What if you use a phone to take photos
• What I do
• How you can ask me a question
• And a little bit about me.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!
