This shows a  border merger because the picture cuts off kids in the left and right side of the image. If the kids were to be seen and weren't cut off they would be avoiding mergers. This picture i picked shows the rule of Avoiding Mergers because the image is cutting off kids in the left side and the rigth side of the image this shows that they didn't avoid a merger making this image a Border Merger.

This shows framing because the trees form a frame around the picture. This picture i picked shows the rule of framing because the trees are forming a frame in the lower part  of the image.

This picture shows balance  because it shows lady liberty balancing and holding her hand up. This picture i picked shows the rule of balance because the  statue is balancing with her foot bent a little an her hand in the air.

This picture shows lines because the background is a building and it has lines going starlight down. This picture i picked shows the rule of lines because the building has lines and it leads the eye to the guy falling.

This picture shows the Rule of thirds because the flag is in the lower right corner of the picture. This picture i picked meets The  Rule of Thirds because if i were to make lines on the image that broke it apart the flag will be in the lower right corner of the image.

This image shows simplicity because the background is simple( is the sky). This photo i picked meets the rule of simplicity because the background is blue and there's nothing going on in the background that will grab you attention to that, instead of the burning building.

Elements of Art  Line- Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color. Shape - Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.   Color - Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color. ...

                              When photojournalist Photoshop a photo it can cost them their job. This happened to 3 people that tried to Photoshop original images and dint do a good job they got fired and all of their photos were removed by the photo company and on top of that they were fired. So its better for photojournalist to not Photoshop images unless they  want to get fired from their job.                                             I think this picture is unethical because the picture looks like a cartoon it look fake especially the solider and the colors make them look fake and like a cartoon .   ...

This is my favorite picture because i like the different shades of colors and i like the effect the sand had  when it was thrown in the air and got struck by the  rays of the sun. I also like the shape of the canyon and  like how they captured the image from the angle that they did it from. I would take a picture of  dolphins because i like dolphins and i would like to swim with them

 The thing that made me pick this photo is that i like the colors of it and i like the little boys face expression.What made me gravitate to this picture was the colors and how the marine and the kid are dressed.

                                      "The Camera" The effect camera also known as the camera obscura was the first camera the hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting ligligtht onto the wall of the dark chamber.  In the 17th century Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens helped men get a step closer to creating the modern camera by perfecting the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses. The parts were a glass lens ,a dark box, and film that created the first successful photograph. What modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce's camera is that they work the same light passes through the lens, into the camera,and exposes the film, and the results end up being the same you get a photograph. Digital Cameras capture images with an electronic sensor called a CCD.                   ...

Manuel Alvarez Bravo - Laughing Mannequins (1930) This is a good picture of black and white because the mannequins look real if u look at the picture from far away. Julia Margret- Sadness (1864) I like this picture because of how the girl is dressed she is wearing something different from old days and  her facial expression shows sadness and the name goes perfectly with the picture.

Good Picture I think this is a good picture that i took because first of all you can see his face , the picture came out clear, and the picture didn't come out blurry. The things that i did to make it a good picture was that first of all i made sure that he was facing the camera and that he dint move for at lest 3 seconds for me to be able to take a clear picture and not a blurry one. Bad Picture  I think this is a bad picture because you can't see his face at all he is facing away from the camera . The things that i did for this picture to be bad was that i didn't capture his face and i only captured his body.
