Simplicity



This image is simplicity, you understand and see whats going on in the image right away.

Lines

This image has lines on the tower, but really stil focused on the action happening.

Rule of Thirds

This is rule of thirds because the image in the photo is in one corner, while the rest of the image focused on another corner.

Discussion

This photo represents discussion because it is really close up and focused on the twin towers burning down..

Balance

In this photo it shows balance, the big tower stands out. In the background you notice the burning world trade center.

Framing

In this photo the trees are framing the twin towers.

National Geographic Warm-up

This is my favorite photo out of the 45 because I love the lighting! 
I think baby animals are super cute, which is another reason. :) 
He or she is wild and free. 

I would probably submit a picture with lots of happy people because I surround myself with positive people, That's the world I'm living in.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Four main points of this article are obviously
- don't photo shop,
- you could possibly lose your job.
- Also could lose your credibility.
-  It could cause a lot of conflict also.

I think photo shop is not acceptable because it could really stir things up, twisting the story is never okay. Sometimes it could be funny and fun but most of the time it's just a bad or cruel thing to do.


I feel like the first photo with the soldier is the worst, it almost looks as if the gun is toward the baby and them man. I think that's cruel. I don't think anyone would understand why he'd have the baby at gun point.


I don't think the two girls at a football game is so bad, The person just changed the story up. It wasn't really as bad as some other ones.


Monster Meal

If I had to pick my own monster meal I think it'd be full of movie snacks. Like popcorn, pickles, hot cheetos. Things like that, I wouldn't necessarily combine them all together but just having them in bowls and having a movie with those snacks of course! :)

^I like this picture.. I like this picture because the quality is great! I like this picture because the background is blurred out. I like this picture because he is smiling.
