9/11 Photo technices

Framing
I chose this photo for framing because the subject is climbing an object, while so, the outworks of a broken building is surrounding him in the photo showing the technique.

Rule Of Thirds
I chose this photo for rule of thirds because the building on the left is the main focus and it is not directly in the center the photograph giving the picture more of an interesting feel, making you want to keep looking at the photo. It hits the bottom left corner when using the grid.

Simplicity
I chose this photo for simplicity because it is obvious what the subject is, there is nothing else distracting you from the burning building. The background is the plain blue sky, with tiny blurred city skyline.

Lines
I chose this photo for leading lines because as you look at the photo, you start to focus on the lines, moving you vision upwards to see smoke holes and fire men.

Merges
I chose this photo for merges because the man on the right of the photographs hand is being cut off of the photo. I find it a distracting merge where I can't focus on the people helming the injured man.

Balance
I chose this photo for balance because you can focus on the bridge, or the burning buildings, and I find it pleasing because the two subjects you can both look at without questioning or being confused on what to look at.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (Square, Metal, Happy, Bowie) I had a little bit of a challenge with getting the photo's I wanted in the time limit we were given. 2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. I was thinking mostly about what photo I could take to where someone could get a relative idea of the prompt, but I was also focusing on having a focused picture, because I always seem to try and get closer to objects in the photo's I take. 3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I think I would try to incorporate more of the aspects of photography into my photos and see if I liked the outcome better. 4. What things would you do the same? I think I had pre

1) I didn't really have that much of a reaction to what I read and saw. I did notice though that the photographer was really passionate about what he was photographing. I think he wanted to be different than lots of photographers these days and that he really knew what he wanted to capture. 2) 3) This photo shows a mother lion cuddling it's baby on some sort of rock I think. This one is my favorite because I thought it was cute, and I think it rally makes the person looking at the photo feel something and I just thought that was cool. 4) This photo shows rule of third's. It shows this by having the subject in the left of the photo. 5) He does not use a telephoto lens because he thinks that you can't show much feeling through being far away. He wants to capture the soul and by being up close he can achieve that. 6) He took these photo's because he feels moved and inspired when he visits these sort of places. 7) He hopes to show the animals in their state o
