"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Mathew 28:19

This next one is something that when I started a few decades ago I kind of knew about it, but perhaps didn't fully appreciate the impact it could have until I started collecting a rather vast portfolio of images and realizing that there was a certain "look" that indeed really grabbed my eye. Owing to a concept in that is one of the most well known in landscape and other kinds of photography, this is a way of composing an image known as the "Rule of Thirds."

What's neat is that using the Rule of Thirds can be used basically any time you take a picture, even when it's a group photo or of pets or as mentioned, a nice scenic view. it should be noted that the Rule of Thirds is less so a rule and more of a composition guideline. Sometimes you will find exceptions (most notably if you're doing professional portraits) and the whole point is to center your subject in the frame. Otherwise it will look weird like someone kicked the camera when it was taking the shot.

For this point though, the idea is to have your photo centered off a bit from your subject, either mainly to the left or to the right. Here is a grid example of how it looks when setting it up. I took this one at Spider Rock at Canyon de Chelly.
