Photo Composition and 9-11 (6)

Avoiding Mergers 

This picture is focusing on the three people. Their whole bodies are in the frame of the picture. The alignment in the picture is great because of that reason and it also captures the background of the fire and wreckage to show what they were doing.

Simplicity

This picture shows simplicity because the buildings are around the background which is the sky. Nothing is overcrowding in the picture. It's simple. The sky is filled with smoke and/or ash and that is about it.

Rule of Thirds

The picture above is a good representation of the rule of thirds because the man is walking and there is a great deal of space in front of him to walk to. Not directly in the middle but to the left a bit.

Balance 

This picture shows balance because the smoke is coming out from the same spots on different sides of the building. So even though the picture isn't directly symmetrical, the smoke is.

Lines

This picture draws attention the the falling man in front of the vertical lines of the building. The man is the only thing not in a straight line so he stands out more than the background does.

Framing

The people in this picture are looking at the papers that are posted and its cut out (so you think because of the picture) and it frames around them.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WARM-UP

This is one of my favorite photos from the website because it's so clear. The picture shows lines that make you understand that there are different floors in the building. The white building contrasts with the black ground that you can can from the upper angle that picture is taken from. 

POST SHOOT REFLECTION

{Red, Happy, Metal} 

http://magdalena16.blogspot.com/

• I really do like the RED picture because it focuses on the red stems rather than the green leaves and leaves a sort of soft but yet harsh lines. 
• I like the METAL photograph because it shows the fan protruding from the center while spinning and it shows the luster of the metal pretty clearly. 

• One thing I disliked was the HAPPY picture because it wasn't so clear. I wish it was focused more on her and her smile rather than the background. 

40 Greatest Photos Ever

Kim Ho-Young

I think the fact that he was crying drew me in to the picture. What I REALLY liked was how the camera was focused on the man closer to the camera than the man in the back, but you could still see the man in the back without wondering what he's doing. I think it made the cut for the 40 greatest photos because the moment it captured, how clear it came out and how the position of the camera  captured both of them. 

William Anders

I really like how most of the picture is black and then focused on the earth. The earth is the only thing with such vibrant color.  I like how the surface of the moon looks slanted. This photo made the cut because its not too often when someone goes to the moon. I think its a great photo despite the fact that it was taken in 1968. 

Marc Riboud

I was drawn into this photo because of the colors. It seems like there's some type of filter and/or the sunset or sunrise is highlighting her dress, the flower and the sky more and is making it stand out. I really like how the picture is coming from somewhat behind her left shoulder but you can still see what she's doing and the soldiers faces. This photo made cut because it just seems so powerful. She's dressed in color along with the flower and the soldiers are just in all black. 

Quick blog: My Monster Meal

I would make a big huge salad with chicken, tomatoes, carrots, romaine lettuce, honey smoked turkey pieces, avocado, a bit of season-all, more tomatoes (cherry tomatoes), with sausage chunks, and italian balsamic vinagerette.  You could get it at any place where they sell or make salads. It would be called "Ultimate Freak Out Salad." It would be fatty but yet still has some good choices in there. It would fill you up and easily you could run off the fat.

BEST AND WORST PHOTO

BEST PHOTO

THIS PHOTO IS FOCUSED ON JUAN. IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR COMPARED TO THE BACKGROUND OF THE COMPUTER AND THE KEYBOARD WITH THE MOUSE. THE LIGHTING IN THE PHOTO MAKES HIM STAND OUT COMPARED TO THE NEUTRAL/WHITE BACKGROUND. 

WORST PHOTO

THE PHOTO HERE IS SHOWING JUAN IN ACTION, BUT THE LIGHTING IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT COULD'VE BEEN. THE HIGHLIGHTS ON HIS FACE ARE AROUND HIS FOREHEAD, NOSE AND RIGHT CHEEK. THE DARK TONES ARE AROUND HIS ARM AND NECK AREA.
