Today and Wednesday, we will have a discussion of composition. To follow up on that, I would like you to read the following for Wednesday. On Wednesday, we will also discuss effective use of focal length to control the apparent space between objects.
The Art of Black and White Photography: Techniques for Creating Superb Images in a Digital Workflow, read Part III: Rules of Composition. The whole thing.

A really great Kodak presentation on photo composition made in the late 1970s. I love this presentation. I have it on slide and audio cassette; easier to show this way.
Kodak Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition - this is an old Kodak guide to photo composition that someone scanned and transcribed. The images still hold up. It is a newer version of the other presentation.
Kodak Guide to Better Pictures: Composition - simplistic, but there is still some good information and images here.
