Simplicity

Simplicity

This photo has a very general and simple layout, it has the perfect angle of the jet pilot gazing down at the ruins of the pentagon after the attacks of 9/11. Its somewhat of a close-up and a distant photo.

Lines

Lines

 This photo is a perfect example of the photographer using lines.  The two huge light towers in the exact spot of where the twin towers used to stand making a kind of memorial. the lines of light point straight up and parallel to one another.

Rule Of Thirds

The Rule Of Thirds
This photo is an excellent example of a photographer using rule of thirds.  The photo would not have the same effect had the helicopter been dead center, its put off to the side kind of showing the viewer the impacted wall behind it. A very excellent photo with a perfect background and angle of the photo.

Framing

Framing

Here the framing is the bottom of the bridge to the surface of the water, closing off at the left side of the picture.  The photos main focus is the two burning towers,  it does not allow you to see much more than the world trade center, ensuring that the viewer knows the photographers intentions.

Pinhole Finale

 

Differences

Negative Positive

The Picture is flipped Horizontally

In the positive you can kind of see clouds or individual leaves that you cant in the negative.

Everything is backwards

There is much more detail visible in the positive like the lumps on the tree trunk

Balance

Balance

This photo has excellent balance, it has a good horizon, the reflection of the sunset on all the glass painted buildings, its at a solid angle. Very good photography, awesome view of New York City.

Pinhole Camera Review

I like this photo because it has a nice angle of the slides and i think thats hard to find and get it with one shot. The Photographer showed good taste and the picture is not blurry what so ever. This is a very nice photo its pretty sharp and i can see most of the things in this picture.

I don't really like this photo, it seems kind of a pointless photo to me(no offense to the photographer), but i cant tell what that big thing in the middle is. "Is that a river tube?" The picture is not blurry, its pretty clear, but it doesn't help the fact that theres not much to look at. Photographer could show more creativity, i give him props for trying
