The third camera winner is Neil Speers, who has a great tip on composition. Congratulations Neil! – David.

Learn to use negative space. Positive space is your subject – a person, an animal, a building, an egg, etc. Negative space is everything else that shows up in the picture. Take five pictures of five different subjects – any subject is fine, just choose five different things.

BUT, concentrate on making the BACKGROUND perfect. That is, concentrate on everything except the subject itself – what is behind and around the subject has to be perfect. Once you’ve started to pay attention to the negative space, your whole composition will improve.
