The 6 Rules of Photographic Composition

LINES

This lines int his picture all lead to the edge of the building, focusing on that part of the building.

BALANCE

                                                   

This photo shows balance because the twin towers in the back are balancing out the picture with all the chaotic people.

 RULE OF THIRDS

This is rule of thirds because the main focus is the green "Welcome to Manhattan" sign that is off center.

 SIMPLICITY

This picture is simplicity because there iso nothing going on in the background. The picture is very calm because there is just one thing going on.

 FRAMING

This picture is framing because the broken edges of this building are framing the firefighter that is climbing the ladder.

 AVOIDING MERGERS

This is a merger because the building behind the man doesn't look like it is supposed to be there.
