Final Exam Part 3

 In this picture i see the rule of Lines . I know its the rule of lines because as you see the runners running you can also see the track and the white lines that pop out to divide the runners space and line to run on. The lines are horizontal and theres a vertical line at the start.

 The rule used in this picture is Simplicity/Background. I know this because the background is just a solid color and their is nothing that can distract you from your focus. Its easier to see the subject in this picture because of the clear blue sky .

 The rule used in this picture would be balance . i think this picture is using the composition of balance because you can see the woman jumping high in the air with her legs open and as you see that you can also think of symmetry and it would almost be the same thing.

The rule i picked for this picture was rule of thirds. I  think this picture used the rule of thirds because if you use the grid in this picture the object would take place in the right bottom corner . Also you need more space in the picture because you can't see where the object is going to land .

TIPS ; 

• Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.
• Create an especially revealing self-portrait by adding personal memorabilia surrounding your mirrored image, such as photos of yourself at various stages of your life, or anything that tells the viewer about your interests.
• You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in. Place a mirror just behind the camera, and do your final posing in the mirror.
