  Balancing Elements:

 

Leading Lines

 

Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)

Background

Cropping

Mergers and avoiding them

rule of thirds. 
This photo centers the subject and gives it a lot of pace so it plays the rule of thirds. This photo stroke me because of the way the photographer captures the person walking alone during the time of the storm.

Lines. The subject is in the middle and the photographer used diagonals to focus on the person. I like this photo because it shows a man just sitting there with his hat covering his face, and with his suitcase all alone. The colors, (although they are not vibrant) stand out.

Great black and white photographers, PART 2

Weegee or Arthur Fellig  was born June 12, 1899 and passed away December 26, 1968.
He was from Złoczów, Austrian Galicia. He was a well known black and white street photographer and photojournalist. Weegee published photography books, and worked in cinema. Weegee was the only New York newspaper reporter with a permit to have a portable police-band shortwave radio. He is best known for his candid news photographer, documenting  street life in New York City. He was a self-taught photographer with no formal photographic training. He published a photography book titled Naked City. He would mostly get photographs of Crime scenes, murders, and drunks.

With my negative it's mostly if not all black, with my positive photo it's mostly white but you can see other objects.
Negative- being without any results, or expressing or containing negation.
My negative looks different from my positive because the exposure of light that the negative gathered turned negative rather than it being light like my positive photo.
The angle of refraction makes the minor bending in the photo.

Avoiding Mergers

 

The use of background in this photo avoids mergers. They do not merge with anything in this photo.  

Rule of Thirds

Notice how both of the towers are in this photo, the rule of thirds lets us see all of the smoke and flames in this photo.

Framing

 

The buildings in this photo frame the background so you focus on the smoke more.  

Simplicity

 

The way the photographer chose the angle of the buildings and the how the background is just a fading color shows great simplicity and makes this photo look a lot better.  

Balance

 

This photo creates a triangle with the truck and the remains of the buildings. You can see how the truck is right in the middle of the photo and well balanced out.  

aperture-a device that controls amount of light admitted
shutter-a mechanical device on a camera that opens and closes to control the time of a photographic exposure
exposure- the condition of being presented to view
depth of field- is the portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image.
F-stop-A camera lens aperture setting that corresponds to an f-number.
focal length-the distance from a lens to its focus

Autofocus- Automatic focus in the camera.
Shutter Speed- It lets you control the speed of the shutter and how much light you want in the photo.
viewfinder- is what the photographer looks through to compose, and in many cases to focus, the picture
Rangefinder-s a device that measures distance from the observer to a target, for the purposes of surveying, determining focus in photography

I like this photo because the photographer got a good shot of the subject and the colors are really nice.
There is a statue in this photo, it is not blurry at all. The statue is in focus, and the buildings behind it are out of focus. The clouds in the photo seemed warped, they look like they are stretched like how The Beatles rubber soul album cover looks like.

I don't like this photo, it's really out of focus and you don't have a clue on what it's supposed to be a photo of. It's mostly gray and looks faded out. It doesn't seem like it's warped, you can't really tell.
