Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds involves using a grid made up of two vertical and two horizontal lines, which enables you to position objects in your picture to make it more pleasing to the eye. It creates balance and harmony in the photo because there is something interesting happening in each section of the photo.
Leading Lines
Leading lines uses lines within an image to lead to something at the end and centre of the image, which is the main focus but you notice all the other things in the image before noticing the main subject. Any number of things can use leading lines, train tracks or bridges.
Even and Odd
This rule basically means by using three things the same but different colours for example, it makes it more interesting and pleasing to the eye, whereas if you used all the same colour it creates symmetry and less interesting. Using odds draws the viewers attention.
Triangle Rule
The triangle rule is a really good composition technique. It works best when you have three main subjects in focus but that isn't necessary. By using a triangle, it fills the frame very well and creates a great photo for the viewer, using the triangle rule isn't always done purposely but either way, it usually turns out quite nicely.
Leading Room and Space
Leading room (and space) uses 'white space' in the direction that the subject is facing or in front of the object that is moving, this is shown in the picture to the left. By using this technique it really can alter the mood of the photo, it can make it feel relaxed and like there's a lot of open space.
