Lines

Credit given to Larry Rader for providing the photograph
My first observation upon looking at this photo I had quickly noticed the parallel lines within the picture itself. Which is what makes this photo a good example for lines.

The Rule of Thirds

Credit to Larry Rader for providing the photo
This photograph is an example of how "The Rule of Thirds" is applied. If you were to draw three rows and three columns. The photo of the tower will be seen as the background focal point, while in return the middle tower would be the middle focal point, whereas the building in the lower right corner and the one in the lower left corner; they'll both be the foreground focal points.

Simplicity

Credit to Larry Rader for providing this photograph
This is a very good example of simplicity. The photo is focused on just the tower with a clear blue sky in the background. Of course everyone who is around, or was around on 9-11 then you know it was a tragic and shocking day for the U.S.
Never shall this day go unforgotten!

Unusual and interesting photos: Part 3

  • Four things every photographer should know how to do: take a photo of a reflection, take a photo of a hand, take a photo of him/herself, and take a photo showing perspective.
  • Some photographers get hung up by finding subjects for their photos. They want something spectacular. A better skill to have is being able to make the ordinary seem extraordinary.
  •  A good skill to have as a photographer is to look at things from different angles to get the best shot. Do not let an awkward angle deter you from your inspiration. Take the shot even if you have to look straight up.
Yes the photographer followed the suggestions fully. These kind of paintings are the ones that might influence me, that and 3D paintings done in oil pastel or chalk.
