When looking at an image taken by your favourite photographer, what do you see? What makes it a great photo? Of course, the subject might be particularly eye-catching, but careful consideration has also gone into the framing of the shot before the shutter was pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can improve the composition of your own photographs by following a few simple rules. As time goes on these will become second nature, and you\u2019ll find yourself composing beautiful images instinctively. Let\u2019s have a look at some of the things you can try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The Rule of Thirds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most basic rules of photography is the rule of thirds. When framing or composing your image, imagine a grid of nine equal sections over your viewfinder or LCD screen. To follow the rule of thirds, you need your main subject to be placed along one of the lines where your grid is split, or at a cross section where these lines cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, you don\u2019t have to imagine these thirds lines, as your camera can display them in its viewfinder or on its viewscreen. To turn these on follow the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-image-slider image-slider is-style-learning-centre wp-block-fujifilm-image-slider\">\n\t<div

Framing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as following the rule of thirds, there are other things to consider when framing. First, make sure your camera is level so that you don\u2019t end up with a sloping image; if you\u2019re shooting landscapes, you may want to consider using a tripod to help. If you\u2019re taking pictures of people, it\u2019s also important to make sure you don\u2019t crop off any of their limbs. Although there are times when this can be done for creative effect, it will usually look quite strange!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-image-slider image-slider limit-width is-style-learning-centre

If you are shooting in autofocus, press your shutter button halfway down: your camera will focus. Once it has focused, press the button down fully to take the shot. Alternatively, you can switch to manual focus, and focus by rotating the focus ring on your lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"862\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=862&#038;height=575\" alt=\"\" class=\" wp-image-359286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=862 862w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=300&amp;height=200 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=768&amp;height=512 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=400&amp;height=267 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=365&amp;height=243 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=600&amp;height=400 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=717&amp;height=478 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=295&amp;height=197 295w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=800&amp;height=533 800w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=688&amp;height=459 688w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/LEARNINGCENTRE_Lane-2144-1.jpg?width=412&amp;height=275 412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 Bobbi Lane<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way you can use focusing to help with composition is by being selective. Focusing only on what is important in a picture, and letting other parts go out of focus, is a great way to draw your viewers\u2019 attention to what matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Eliminate Distractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever taken an image and thought, \u2018I wish that street light wasn\u2019t there\u2019 or \u2018I wish there wasn\u2019t so much in the background\u2019? If so, then there\u2019s a simple solution to your troubles \u2013 eliminate those distracting elements. When composing your image, take notice of what appears in the frame. If there is a sneaky branch creeping into the frame, or maybe even someone standing in the background of your shot, then simply take a step to the side and reshoot. Or if you have a zoom lens, try zooming in until the object disappears. It\u2019s also important to consider what is in the background of your image. Try to look for clutter-free backgrounds or settings for your images and don\u2019t be afraid to move yourself or your subject to get that better shot.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-image-slider
