When taking pictures, a subject in
the very middle of the frame is very boring and not
considered a very good picture. To make your pictures
better in general you need to take into account the
Rule of Thirds. Basically this means that instead
of having the main focus of a picture in the middle,
you put it in a third. the thirds are both horizontal
and vertical. Try to put your main subject along one
of these lines or even better, where two lines cross
each other.
You will also need to remember that if you are
photographing something moving then you should give
it space to move into, rather than space behind
it. For example, if you are photographing a horse
running into a paddock from the right then place
the horse in either the bottom right or top right
line intersection on the grid above (keeping the
sky or background and grass in mind), then have
most of the picture showing fields to run into,
a picture like this shows freedom and movement and
is interesting and pleasing to look at.
