Balance

I really like this picture and I think it is a wonderful example of balance. Just how the photographer position everything in the photo makes it really great! There is kind of a lot going on, but the photo really looks balanced.

Lines

I believe this is an excellent example of lines, obviously because of the S-Curve. It is very good that the photographer placed the S-Curve in the center, it really grabs your attention.

The Rule of Thirds

This photo of a man falling is a great example of the Rule of Thirds. Since the guy is positioned at the top of the picture he has "room to fall" and by the lines in the wall you can see the path he is falling in.                                                     

Simplicity

This is a very good example of the Simplicity because the background is very plain and simple so it helps bring the attention to the to the man and the little boy. Also since the subject is off center it makes the photo look more interesting.

The Camera

Single Lens Reflex Camera-allow the photographer to see the precise focus, color, framing, and brightness that will be recorded on film, because the viewfinder looks through the lens.
Parallax-when the viewfinder or viewing lens is separated from the taking lens.
Light Meter- is used to ensure accurate exposure of images.
Shutter Lag-is the delay between triggering the shutter and when the photograph is actually recorded.
Aperture-an opening, usually circular, that limits the quantity of light.
Shutter-a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time.
Exposure-is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium  during the process of taking a photograph
Depth of Field-is the portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image.

Pinhole Camera

    I like this picture by the pinhole camera because the distance the photographer is away from the girl makes the rocks look way bigger than she is, which is pretty cool. I like how the photographer made the river  look smooth. Its interesting because this smooth river is coming between these rough rocks. Surprisingly the image doesn't  seem to be  warped

    I don't like picture because it looks distorted and out of focus. You can't really see what the subject is. It just looks very old. The image looks warped because the middle of the picture stick out.
