These articles were particularly interesting to me. Not because I didn't know what these composition styles were or because I learned anything new. However, I found these articles interesting because they reinforced some concepts that I have already been doing. Whether I had been performing them consciously or subconsciously these articles helped clear a few things up.
I may have already known about the rule of thirds, or the hyper-focal point in an image, I may have even known about thin sky and thin horizons, but never knew they were what is called "compositions". These articles helped me realize that there are reasons that pictures look good. I always took what I thought looked the best and hadn't know that there were rules behind them.
I also found the article on snapshots interesting. Although I had an idea of what they were, it was good for the writer to spell out exactly what a snapshot is. Nobody likes to compose every image and it can be fun to take snapshots from time to time. I just like to throw my camera on auto and snap away.
