Photography Rules

Rule of Thirds: This photo uses the rule of thirds because the focus, the towers, are in the right third with the smoke moving across the larger third.


Simplicity: It is very easy to tell what the subject of the picture is. A lot of pictures have too many details that distract the viewer but this photo is very simple.


Balance: This is a good picture because the tall towers balance the long end of the island.


Framing: This photo is a good example of framing because the shattered window frames the main focal point, the firefighter.


Merger: This picture is an example of a merger because the black building is blocking the main focus point.


Lines: This photo has a good use of lines. If you follow lines from either side you will get to the main focus point, the gash in the building.
