Snapshot: a quick shot often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time.
Photograph: an image taken with care and thought.
Rules of Composition:
1. Rule of Thirds (imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically).
-place the horizon line at the top or bottom horizontal divider.
-fill up the entire frame with the subject for a close up image.
2. Leading Lines (visual lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to led the viewer's eye through the photo).
-lines can draw attention to one or more intended subjects or a single focal point.
3. Point of View (change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position).
-if you want a subject to appear very tall, compose the shot so that the camera is looking upwards.
-if you shoot straight down on something you can see different things.
4. Simplicity
-keep your background simple and clear of clutter.
-the mood and the effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background.
-a chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away.
