The Rule of thirds utilizes a grid that splits the frame to nine equal parts to place the subject in a focal point that the eye will be naturally drawn to.
Framing
This composition technique uses objects in the foreground or background to "frame" or surround the subject making it more emphasized for the viewer.
Lines
There are 8 kinds of lines used in the composition of photography to help create a dynamic shot, they include: Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal, Implied, Leading, Curve, S-curve, and Converging.
Simplicity
This techniques reduces what is in the frame to what the photographer really wants the audience to see allowing the viewers eye to center its focus on the subject.
Built in Light Meter
This feature of the DSLR allows the user to calculate exposures to middle grey by allowing the camera's sensors.
White Balance
This camera setting allows the camera to adapt to different lighting conditions to create a "white balance".
Exposure Triangle
The three components of the exposure triangle are F-stop(Aperture), ISO, and Shutter speed, These three elements allow you to create a proper exposure for your photo.
ISO
This determines how sensitive your camera's film or CCDs are and can allow you to take shots in darker areas.
Shutter Speed
The shutter speed controls just how fast you take your picture and how much movement your shot will have.
Depth of Field
Depth of Field is determined by distance, focal length and aperture and can be used to "blur out" elements that are unwanted.
Basic Daylight Exposure
Basic Daylight Exposure uses F-stop and Shutter speed to create a proper exposure for a photograph.
