Composition 9/11 - The first 6 rules of Photography

Avoiding Merges 


I choose this picture because it gives the statue enough space, and because it has a plain background.

Framing


I chose this photo because the main focus is the smoke, but it shows where it happen, and as soon as you see this picture you know what happen or what it is.

Balance


 This photo is equally balance, there are people on the bottom of the photo going left to right and people on top on the photo.

Lines


The fact that the photographer took the picture from this perspective makes the photo more interesting, there is a lot of lines throughout the photo, but you can still see the background.

The rule of Thirds



i choice this picture because, they divided the three buildings equally, and it seems very spacious in the photo.

Simplicity


The reason i picked this picture is because the main focus in the picture is the United States flag, there are more things in this picture but what people look at is the flag.

          Timothy O'Sullivan was born on the year of 1840, (no recored of the month or day) and passed away on January 14, 1882. Timothy was known for his work related to the American Civil War and the Western united States. He was born in Ireland and came to New York when he was two years old with his parents. When the Civil War began he was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Union Army and later was present at Beaufort, Port Royal, Fort Walker, and Fort Pulaski. There is no records of him fighting. From 1867 to 1869, he was an official photographer on the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel under Clarence King.


          William Henry Fox Talbot was bron on February 11, 1800 and passed away on September 17, 1877. He was a British inventor and photographer pioneer who invented the calotype process. His work in the 1840s on photo-mechanical reproduction led to the creation of the photo glyphic engraving process, the precursor to photogravure. He is remembered as the holder of a patent which, some say, affected the early development of commercial photography in Britain.
