Educational photography tips, please share

Okay we all have tips of things we do, or not do. Like maybe you always go by the rules of thirds, maybe you've never heard of it. Maybe you hate it and never follow it and can show expample of why you do, or don't.
This is a thread for everyone to share there knowledge and hopefully show expamples of thier work. It's also for others to ask guestion and hopefully get an answer back on question about the pictures. Like, how did you get that shot, what settings and what kind of camera do you use.
Does anyone have some good photo tips they are willing to share. I'll go first.
1). The rules of thirds: a good rule, learn it first though, before you break it. Bulleye photo can be great, but don't center every picture. It's boring.

Here's mine...if your beer is getting warm your shooting why to much...take a break ..sometimes that's all it takes to see things in a different perspective..and some times over thinking all the rules makes for warm beer..that's my lesson... :D

Don't forget to check your dial.
My avatar was taken a week after I got the camera. I didn't realize the dial was set at Tv and a half a second until it was way too late.

When on a nature outing in bear country, remember that you don't have to outrun the bear, just outrun your photo partner.

If your knee or butt aren't dirty there was another angle to check.
Exactly why I carry knee pads for field macro-photography.

Use of Design Elements.
Dot-circle or point in an image
Line-boundary between darker and lighter tones
Shape-lines in an enclosed space
Form-the three dimensionality of shape
Group-more than one element
Pattern-repeated or visually organized elements
Texture-collection of similar elements on a surface
Contrast-placement of light against dark
Balance-bring into proportion
Point of view-determined by the position of the camera
Subject placement-organization of subjects or objects in the frame
Depth perception-diminishing size of objects farther from the eye.
cheers :)
