6 Photography Rules


Avoid Merging  
This photo stood out to me as an example of merging because both men in the photo have parts of their body cut off. If the photographer would have taken the photo in a portrait style, I think it would have provided the viewers with more information on the setting and people of the photo. Also, the photographer could have taken this photo from a different angle to show the whole truck in the background so it doesn't appear cut off.

 

Rule of Thirds
This is a good example of Rule of Thirds because the main focus in the photo is the long flood of confused and frightened people, which is taking up two thirds of the frame, while the people on the highway take up the other third.


Framing
This photo shows a great example of framing because the main focus the photographer was capturing in this photo is the smoke in the background, being framed by the perfectly normal buildings and the lamp posts. Also, the photographer shot from an almost worm's eye view which showed the full length of the buildings and there size compared to the large smoke cloud.


 Lines
This photo displaying a fire in one of the towers with lines of windows, all highlighted by the bright orange fire inside the building. Also, the stripes on the American flag and the poles in the bottom right corner of the frame show lines. 


Balance
This photo shows Balance because of the way the photographer captured the perfect line of buildings in New York, while he/she still had room the show the smoke in the sky, which gives viewers an idea of how much smoke and destruction took place compared to the buildings. 


Simplicity
This photo is an accurate representation of simplicity because the whole background is plain lines going down, while there is only one subject in the photo. Also, the fact the the photographer shot the falling man right where the background lines change color splitting through the middle provides a simple photo with an abstract meaning.
