Rules of Photography II

1. Rule of Thirds

This image shows rule of thirds because of the subject (the yellowish building) being on the far right section of the picture.

2. Balancing Elements

this picture shows balancing elements through having the same image almost repeating in the background of the subject. This element can also be shown by a different object from the subject but can be at the same hight or similar in some way.

3. Leading Lines

This picture shows leading lines because the lines form the wood in the boat leads to the subject of the palace.

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)

this shows symmetry because the the picture can be "replicated still look the same on either side", this photo also shows patterns through the detailing in the stones and the pillars on the sides.

5. Viewpoint

The view point is not really a specific "think you can do". View point is in every picture. The view point is this picture is the perspective of looking down at the bridge instead of the side.

6. Background

This picture shows a background because there is one. This is again a quality that almost all pictures have. The background of this picture is blurred to highlight the subject, the yellow flower.

7. Create depth

This picture shows depth because it created a path for the person looking it it to follow to the subject that is the end of the dock, and also maybe the background.

8. Framing 

This shows framing because the large colorful building is highlighted by the middle window through the contrast of the darkness of the window frames.

9. Cropping

This picture shows cropping because the photo was cropped to have the main subject be the eye, and to emphasize it.

10. Mergers and avoiding them

This image shows a merger by having the horse's head positioned in a way where the necks look conjoined. This merger could be changed if the photographer moved to the right and looked at the two horses looking more "angled" the two ends of the horse to show the space between them.
