Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Sadly, I didn't have any trick-or-treaters. Maybe that's because they would have needed a fob to get in my building.  Anyways, I hope everyone had a nice weekend and ate lots of candy!

Rules of Composition

Ten photographs to represent each of the ten rules of composition in photography:
rule #1: impact

rule # 2 : cropping (above is uncropped, below is cropped)
                                       

rule # 3: KISS (keep it simple, stupid)

rule #4: biggest, boldest, brightest!

rule # 6: leading lines

rule# 7: symmetry

rule #8: use of internal framing

rule #9: avoid mergers 
(I avoided having the Washington Monument emerge from Mom's head)

rule #10: room for logical movement

Rules of Composition


Soft leading lines make this picture a standout. Props to the pros.
