Rules of Composition

Rule#2 Use Plain Background

"The background is one color and no texture"

I took pictures of things in my grandparent's house.

Her is an example of this rule:

Here is an example of violating this rule:

The background is too busy and it looks like something is sticking out of his neck.

Rules of Composition

Rule #1: Get down to their level

"Get face to face, down to eye level with the subject"

I took pictures of my dog Kirby. I took pictures around my school of a pay phone, some rocks, trees and decorations. An example of the rule is below of some rocks at school.

                                                              
This picture is cool because the rocks in the front look really big and you can see the texture..

An example of violating the rule:

 I took this picture of my dog looking down at him instead of bending down to get on his level.

In Photojournalism I was assigned a project where we had to take pictures of things that mean something to us. Over the weekend I took  pictures of my family and I got them to together. In my collage there is a picture of my grandparents Elsa and Bill Doler, I spend a lot of time with them. I also took a picture of my mom and dad hidding behind a tree, ha, ha! Tippy is my cat. He is gray and white. We adopted him from the SPCA and he was very sick. Now he is running all over the house and big and fat. The orange cat is named Tickles, I got him when I was four years old. In this picture he looks mad. Winston is a black and white cat, he is clueless. But I love him just the way he is. My passion is photography and I have a collection of antique cameras. Garfield is in my collage of pictures because he is my favorite cartoon character. I like his attitude! In my spare time I like to play the Wii with family and friends. My favorite game is Harry Potter. I love music that is why I have a picture of  my guitar and antique radio. Antiques are also a hobby for me.
