Avoiding Mergers


This image didn't follow the avoiding mergers rule, as the street lamp or telephone pole looks like it's connecting the two people's heads. The lamp or pole distracts from the faces of the subjects, drawing necessary attention to the connection.

Great Black and White Photographers

Imogene Cunningham- Succulent Harry Callahan- Eleanor Lee Friedlander -Lafayette, Louisiana   I really liked these images because of the contrast of soft and stark, the curves and the lines.

I followed the composition rules of line in this picture with the diagonal lines of the chair and the curved water spout. The subject is less clear however, because of the water spout, because it blocks the actual subject, the girl. Next time, I could take the picture from the opposite side of her. The rules of composition that I followed in this picture is rules of thirds. The subject is in the left upper half, and the subject is the boy reading. It's clear to see this, because there aren't other sources that draw your attention from him. The rule of composition that I followed in this picture are rule of thirds and line. The subject is the boy and it's harder to tell however with the spout obstructing the view of him and becoming the...
