Rule five: Take pictures vertically. Vertical pictures are best for many subjects, especially tall ones. It helps to focus in on the subject with as little background distraction as possible. For example, if you were taking a picture of a tree horizontally you would have to walk pretty far away to get the whole tree in the photo. This would create a lot of empty and distracting space to the sides of the tree, and that is not what you want, so try taking the picture vertically instead.
Rule six: Lock in the focus. This creates a extremely clear picture of a subject that is usually off-center. In order to achieve this follow four quick steps. (1) Center the photo (the subject does not have to be in the middle). (2) Press the shutter halfway down. (3) Re-frame the picture to have the focus more on the subject (while still holding the shutter button). (4) Take the photo by pressing the shutter button all the way down. This will create a very sharp foreground with a blurry background that will show off your subject.
