If we didn't break the photography rules now and again, how would you get those beautiful sunset shots? And have you noticed a trend in "wonky" off balance shots? Sometimes by placing the subject dead centre you can portray a feeling of isolation and space. By going against the grain, you can create and improve your very own style.
I have taken many photos without even looking through the viewfinder, a bit "hit and miss" but sometimes necessary to see over crowds and such, knowing a few minutes in Photoshop will straighten things out. Of course, if using film this can be a bit wasteful!
