Balance


just a simple example of balance, here nothing is too lopsided, as because the main focus takes up the majority of the photo.

this one sorta stood out to me because of the smoke. nothing is particularly interesting here except for the plume of smoke. it seemed balanced on the lattitude lines of the picture, making it an eyecatcher.

Avoiding Mergers


this picture is great in a representation. here you have three firefighters, with their bodies completly in the picture, raising the prop (flag). none of the major focus points are removed, and the picture is well balanced with a complex point of interest, and a simple background.

This one was actually one of my favorites. the entire background has the same color, making it so the firefighters really stand out. it helps with the main focus of the picture by drawing the eye to the more complex colors.

Framing

This is an outstanding picture. Here you have the skyline in plain veiw, while the main focus, (the explosion on the towers) is perfectly places on one of the "thirds" axes while you still have a simple foreground of the park across the river.
This picture in general caught my eye, when on the full screen you can really take in the depth of the picture. you have a foreground, a background, and everything inbetween to really catch the eye.

Lines

this isnt the best of images, but it uses the lines in two ways to show two separate things. first off if you follow the lines downward, you will undoubtedly come across someone falling to their tragic death of the image. then if you follow them up, you will come across the fires on the upper levels of the building.

this one was something that I did not origionally intend on using. at first I thought that it was just a picture of the burning side of the twin towers with things falling out. then I looked more closely at it. I chose this one because it shows just how far the human being is willing to go in order to survive.

The Rule of Thirds

here we have a black a white picture of firefighters helping a man walk to safety. As you can see, they are strategically placed on the right side of the picture, bringing them into the main focus, while still giving some background to portray the image.

This in my opinion was the best simple photo that I could find. I chose this because it shows the human race coming together in the time of need. it was well taken, well placed, and had a great color scheme to add to the mood of the picture.

Simplicity


This is a good example of simplicity. here you see an upwards view of the twin towers fading to the simple blue skyline. there are no other objects in the picture taking away from the main focus.

PinHole Camera photo



this one has a balance of colors and texture to really bring out the main focus of the picture. the background is a solid color bringing out the brightness of the tear drop, and also you have a background in the foreground bringing out the person with matching colors.

Pinhole Camera Photos






This one is my least favorite because of the scenery. nothing is really displayed, mainly focused on the person who has faded away from "reality". you see one canyon on the background and in the foreground, you see mostly black and its hard to make out what the scenery is.
