The document discusses basic photography composition techniques including the rule of thirds, close-up photography, using patterns and leading lines. The rule of thirds involves dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically and placing key elements along those lines. Close-up photography requires special lenses and lighting considerations. Leading lines use real or implied lines in an image to guide the viewer's eye to the main subject.
