1. Fixed focal length - Use a prime lens (preferably 50mm).

2. 1 Roll Rule - Compose your image shot carefully, thinking out the composition, subject, focal point, perspective, framing, background, etc.

3. No Live Preview or Review - Everything should be composed through the viewfinder.

4. Manual focus - Use manual focus only.

5. One aperture - Use one aperture only. We have a tendency to shoot with lenses open too often. Try to limit yourself to f/5.6, f/8 or f/11.
