I've used that link in the past. Good stuff, thanks. :thumb

For getting good pics to begin with, there is nothing, nothing, more important that learning the principles of composition, or what they used to call 'design.'
Here's a start:

But if you really want to learn about composition (and you should), the best book on the subject, IMHO, is Michael Freeman's [I]The Photographer's Eye[/I]. Excellent book.

Munchy: These are some really great links. I had one or two of them, but these are great resources. My son is just getting into photography and really enjoyed the 10 tips on composition. Thanks.
