Rule of thirds in photography
For a beginner may be sometimes very difficult to compose the image. Composition is the positioning of the main subject in the frame and the background/foreground. For them the rule of thirds may be very handy.
Even though it is up to the creativity of the photography, it is good to understand the psychology when some one is seeing a picture.
Assume that the total frame of the camera is divided into 9 cells using three vertical and three horizontal lines which are equally spaced. It has been observed that, human eye first catches the corner of centre cell, rather than the exact centre position. So it is always good to position your main subject at any of this four corners. Exact centre may not always catch the attention of the viewer and sometimes they may causally skip that picture.
In your camera, you can enable grid lines in the setting which may help to position the object based on the rule of thirds.
A great explanation of ruel of thirds with examples has been provided at the link below.

Lightening photography using point and shoot camera
Can we take photography of lightening using a simple point and shoot camera. ?The answer is YES.
Here is the way:
First switch to "long exposure mode" of your camera. In long exposure mode, we can adjust the time for which the shutter remains opened. In normal modes, this is calculated automatically using the available light outside. If the shutter remains open for long time, more light enters the camera. So make sure that there is no light sources such as bulbs in the frame while taking using long exposure modes. Make the exposure mode to 15 seconds, if the sky is completely dark. Otherwise just take random photos using different exposure time and analyse the pictures taken to choose the best exposure time.
You will not have lightening all the time. So wait for the weather.
Fix the camera on a tripod (or anything), because you don't want to shake the camera during the long exposure modes because it will make the photo very blurry.
The last and final step is just click. Never wait for a lightening to happen to click the shutter. It is very instantaneous and you will surely miss. But keep clicking randomly. You will surely get a photo.
The photo will be highly overexposed some times. Then used any photo editing software to decrease the brightness of the picture.
