Rules of Photography Part 2

Avoiding Mergers - The shovel is being partially cropped out of the image. This creating a merger for the photo. 
Cropping - This is cropping because the palm tree was cropped so that it was the only focus of the image. It was tightly cropped so that it was the only subject for the photo. 
Framing- This image shows framing because the trees act as a frame around the water. 
Create Depth - This image creates depth because the land has different layers to it. It has a foreground and a background. This gives the photo an illusion of depth. 
Background - This photo follows the rules of background because the background is not distracting or interfering with the main subject of the photo. Also the background is simple and blurred out, so your eyes are automatically drawn towards the bird that's in focus. 
Viewpoint - This image is taken from a birds eye view. This creates a background story for the photo, so you know where the photo was taken and it's full perspective. 
Symmetry and Patterns ( repetition ) This image is showing repetition of the palm trees. The use of palm trees are being repeated from emphasis. Also the trees are symmetrical on each side. 
Leading Lines - The bridge is showing leading lines that draw your attention to the end of the beach. They lead your eyes to the beach. 
Balancing Elements - The chair and the umbrella and balancing each other out. They both take up about the same amount of space so they are balancing the photo out. 
Rule of thirds - This is rule of thirds because the palm tree is only on the left side of the image.

Image
The composition rule I followed for this photo is balance. The subject's are the two groups of people. They are both the subjects because the groups are very crucial to this image since they are the focus of the photo. The two groups are balancing each other out. People who are looking at this photo may not realize that this image has more than one subject. However, the photo is focused on the two groups, so if people know the rules for balance in a photo then they will know that the groups are both the subjects. I think I could have gotten a different angle in order to make one group stand out more than the other. To really show what the subject was I should have gotten down on there level and focused in on one of the groups with the other more in the back.  This photo shows rule of thirds. The subject is off centered, which allows the photo to be more visually appealing. The subject of this photo is the boy who is following the rule of thirds. I think it i...

Landscape Photography

1. Where is one place on the internet you might go to better prepare yourself for the location you are shooting at?  Online map service, such as Google Maps. Google Maps show great detail of locations. 2. What is one app you might download to help you when trying to pick the best angle to take landscape photos?   The app Photographer's Ephemeris that will help you predict the angles of sunrise and sunset. Includes features that will tell you the best angles and when to shot your landscape photos. 3. What is the biggest problem shooting with a zoom or telephoto lens? You want to shoot details from a distance to make the foreground and background to appear to be very close together.
