What Does Composition Mean in Photography?

Found an interesting article on composition from Cole Classroom
(https://www.colesclassroom.com/.)   Here is a summary and link to the full article:


When it comes to photography, composition is how you put your photo together. It is the way the elements in your photograph are composed within the frame of your camera’s lens. It deals with how you frame your subject, what type of angle you use, the depth of your photo, complementing colors, plus a variety of other photography techniques that can make your photographs come to life and stand out from others.
There are a lot of different ways you can use composition to build your perfect image, and believe it or not, something as simple as the angle you use can change the photograph from a good picture into a great view.

10 Ways to Improve Your Photography Composition
1.    Use the Rule of Thirds
2.  Understand Your Focal Point
3.  Choose the Appropriate Angle
4.  Use Lines in Your Images
5.  Frame Your Subject
6.  Take Advantage of Empty Space
7.  Adjust for Background and Foreground Depth of Field
8.  Avoid Cutting Off Vital Aspects of the Subject
9.  Use Symmetry in Your Photos
10. Use Complementary Colors


I keep hearing Complimentary Colors are a key to good photography here is a good interactive link to help in Complementary colors - https://www.sessions.edu/color-calculator/

"Mirrorless" and Full Frame Thoughts

Spending a lot of time looking at the benefits and reviews of mirrorless and full frame cameras.  I found a lot of information and after many hours in this endeavor, I am still not ready to make a decision.  One thing I do know the camera companies are proud of the merchandise.  Here are some of the websites I have found that has some good information.
