Picture Composition
The Rule of Thirds
Compositional rule known as the "Rule Of Thirds"
Divide the viewfinder into thirds—both horizontal and vertical. Where the lines intersect are the "power spots" Place your subjects as close as possible to the line intersections.
secret of the pros - Don't center the subject! (Shoot subject off center)

Note: Once you find the appropriate settings write them down.
Storing Digital Photos
First Choice - external USB drives USB drives are faster than burning to CD, and
tend to be more reliable. Plus, you can plug the drive in, edit your photos, and resave since it acts like a regular drive.
Secondary Back Up on CDs Back up your images onto CD, then store them in
a cool, dark, dry, and safe location. I'd also re-backup everything at least once a year. CDs wear out and if they get scratch you will not be able to recovery any photos off of them.
