Tip of the Day: The Sun is the Center of Everything

Several hundred years ago we considered the sun to be at the center of the universe. We know better today. While the sun is beatiful at times, it should not always be placed right in the center of your shot. Consider offsetting the sun either to the left or to the right. While I am not big on sticking to rules in photography, the rule of "Thirds" applies in this case. Try placing the sun in either the upper or lower left, or right corners of your shot. This creates a sensation of either a sunrise or a sunset.
