Composition of light is what you think about before taking a photograph. For example if you are trying to take a picture and here is a bin in the way, you would move the camera to get the bin out of the photograph.
Composing an image means arranging elements within it in a way that suits the core idea or goal of your work best. Arrangin elements can be done by actually moving the objects or subjects. A good example for this case is portrait or still life photography. Street photography involves anticipation, since the photographer doesn’t usually have the choice of moving his subjects himself, but has to wait for them to take the most suitable position within the frame. Another way of arranging elements is by changing your own position. Such a way is appropriate in circumstances that do not allow the photographer to physically move anything, like landscape photography.
