Hurricane Ike

I think this photo best displays avoiding mergers, because it cuts out almost half of the boys body, and it cuts out most of the women who is crying. The reason i chose this photo was because of the composition. this photo was the best that represented avoiding mergers to me.


This photo represented lines, because of the three people are walking in a straight line, and because of the long bridge-like thing with the stop sign that they are walking on is straight, and because of the arrow that is next to the stop is a line that is going up. i chose this phot because of the composition. I  thought i was the best photo that represented lines.

First Shoot

I did not like this photo because all it showed in the picture was some guys feet. Another reason was because it was kind of plain in the background, it just sowed a bookcase and a door. it would have been better if it had showed his face or his body .


I liked this photo because it showed a lot of things in this picture. It showed mostly all of the students in the picture. I also liked it because it had a lot of things in the background like the wall with all of the pictures that decorate the wall.

Avoding Mergers

the way  this picture shows avoiding mergers is because the woman's face is cut out, and because it doesn't show her whole body, and it is cutting out part of the baby.

Frame

This picture shows that its taken from inside a building and the center of interest is the destroyed  buildings that  are in the foreground.

Balance

This pictures shows a coca cola truck that is balanced, because it is right in the middle of the picture and you know that is not going to move out of the picture.

Lines


 This picture shows the destroyed building it has diagonal lines which makes it more dynamic because of how the bulding is leaning.

Simplicity

This photo shows the main subject which is the burning building and you can see it clearly because of the blue sky, and there is nothing else that is distracting you from seeing the burning building.

Rule of thirds

 You can see the building in the upper right corner, which then shows all of the other buildings, and it shows all of the smoke going to the left of the picture, and it keeps on going out of the picture, and it shows all of the people on the grass looking at the building burning.
