Photo Shoot Reflection

My simplicity photo was of a close up of the building with a man falling out from the building.  The photo was zoomed in so there really was nothing else visible in the photograph and your focus was drawn straight to the man and what was occurring. With all that was going on this photographer chose to focus in on one simple yet tragic moment. 

The rule of thirds photo is everyone evacuating over the bridge and  facing toward the camera, with all of the smoke behind them. The rule of thirds is shown in how the photographer took the picture with the main group of people in the bottom left third, this created a very powerful effect in showing that everyone was leaving the city on on the right side of the photo the entrance there is almost no traffic and just a few people shown walking. 

My lines photo was a close up of the building with plumes of smoke coming out of several floors.  The building lines are vertical in perfect symmetry and then the smoke comes in horizontal lines looking like someone took the time to drew it in with precision.

My balance photo was World Trade Center buildings in the center of the photo with the plumes of smoke coming through.I feel looking up at the buildings in the center and the people in front of the photo does a very nice job of balancing out the photo. I said it in my picture description but I feel if the woman in the black was not in the center of the people it would not be as balanced out to me, she just adds the right amount of people in the photo and leaves the focus on the buildings and what is going on yet adds a human touch to the horrible event.

My Framing photo took some finding as many did not look framed to me. I picked the photo with the buildings in the center smoking and the smaller buildings around the sides of the WTC. To me, these buildings created a frame making me focus in on the center where all the important action was taking place.

My Avoiding Mergers photo is the one of the Empire State building with the WTC behind it on fire. This is a farther in the distance photo then anything else I chose and to me if the Empire State Building was not shot from the angle it was I do believe the photo would have looked as if either the ESB was on fire itself or both buildings were. Place the WTC off to the right instead of the center allows you to see what is truly going on., 

911 Reflection

This pictures is a great example of Lines as you have the lines from the building and the lines from the smoke which cause your eyes to really focus in on the photo.

This photo shows great Balance between the two buildings with both pluming smoke and the people are beautifully balanced in front of the building, but I feel without the woman in the black in the center the people would feel off balance.

This photo shows the of Avoiding Mergers by having the World Trade Center off to the right it shows where the smoke is coming from. IF they centered the Empire State building then it would have looked as though both buildings were on fire.

The buildings on the side frame out the World Trade Center as it is smoking, causing you to focus in on the WTC.  This photo shows a classic example of Framing.

This photo shows The Rule of Thirds by having the focus of the photo be in the bottom left of the photograph.

This photo shows sheer Simplicity, The only things you see are

the lines of the building and a person plunging to their death. It is a powerful simple photo.

Filling the frame

The photo shows the best use of filling the frame
as there is almost no blank space in the photo and the
photo itself shows students enjoying and experiment
at school.

Action and Emotion

This photo shows the best action and emotion as
it captures the action of the water as it is in air and
clearly shows both girls reaction to what has taken place.

The Story

This photo shows the best story because it shows
students coming together in Unity on school grounds
which is not something you see often outside of
organized sports and activities.
