Focusing

You might face this problem if you  use  an auto-focus camera- the captures the distant background and blurs the subject. This is because of cameras are usually designed to have a central focus. The solution is quite simple. Point the camera at the subject and position it in the centre of the frame. Keep the shutter bottom pressed halfway down to lock the focus on the subject and re-position the camera so the scene is framed to your liking. Finally , press the shutter bottom down completely to a snapshot. 

The Rule of Thirds

One of the most popular rules of photography, it applies to both traditional, as well as digital photography. According to this rule , if the frame of the viewfinder were to be divided into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, then the four intersections are the best places to put your subject, instead of the centre of the frame. This yields an appealing image. In case of a landscape shoot that needs an emphasis on the sky, get the horizon on the lower horizontal grid.
