Photography part 1 - Photography Composition techniques

I have done some research into photography to help me understand the hobby better, this is the information I have gathered whilst researching and thought it would be good to share it since I know some of you on this site are in to photography. I’ll list all the sites I extracted this information from at the end, some of which you may find interesting or helpful. This is only half of the research (perhaps even less than half), the other half I'm still in the process of researching. I plan to look into lighting techniques, types of photography (macro, wildlife, landscape etc) different lenses and lens accessories, camera modes and settings etc... This I shall post as part 2 once I have written it up if people are interested in seeing it.

Will be interested to hear how helpful this is for you all.

Ah, almost forgot, I'd like to highlight this site as here you can check the composition of your picture to see if it complys to the golden mean. Might be helpful?

Some of the information is copied and pasted snippets from the original sources but the ordering of the text i did myself and I combined info from various sources aswell. Some of it I rewrote entirely. It took me a few weeks to do the research and get it written up. I also used a combination of my own photos and those from the original sources :)
