Selection and rejection of photographs

Worst three photos

1.Photo of Vale

I do not like this photo, because I doesn't really follow the rules of photography. There is two main sections in the photo, which goes against the rule of odds. There is also no evidence of the rule of thirds, as the lines on the buildings seem to cut straight through the middle of the photo.

Also, because of the distance I took the photo at, the image is blurry. 

2. Photo of tree and Lamp and things

With this photo, I tried to follow the rules of photography, but I did not succeed with some of them. The rule of thirds can be applied, as the lamp and the tree itself can split the photo up, however if you attempt this horizontally, then the photo is only split into two. I have also made a big mistake when it comes to landscape photography, as the landscape is not level. Also, because the photo was taken through a window, It is not focused on the right features.

3. Wonky Bannister

i took this photo because I thought the effect on the bannister looked cool. As it Seems, that is not enough to make a good photo. Because the Bannister is so long, the camera could not focus on the entire thing, and instead only a small part of it. This caused the rest of the image to be out of focus. the rule of thirds can not be applied as I decided to depend on a diagonal lead line through the photo. Because of this, the photo doesn't look right, and looks almost 'Incomplete'.

Best Photos  

1.Steve Jobs

I Like this photo because it succeeds in what I attempted to do with it. The rule of thirds can be applied, if you follow a line down Steve's nose, and along with his chin and hairline. The Subject is clear and in focus, and the bottom of the photo is level. I like the photo, because it is nothing special, but is good, and works well. For a portrait, you want to be close up, Have a clear subject, and be simple. I believe this photo achieves all of that well.

2. Leaf

For this photo, i wanted to do an extreme close up of a dead leaf that I found. This was because the leaf was completely white and looked awesome. I succeeded in keeping the background landscape level, and putting the leaf in complete focus. I do believe that the photo is slightly too bright however, and if i Knew how to darken it, i would . This would add more detail to the leaf and make it clearer and more distinct. 

3. Dark Light fitting

This is by far my favourite photo, as it started as an experiment and it turned out really well. Because i had never used a professional camera before, i wanted to see what it could do, so I pointed it directly at a light to see what would happen. As it appears, the camera adjusted to the increase in light by Making the photo a lot darker than normal. This leaves a rather 'Ghostlike' effect on the light, and makes the glass stand out. This photo does follow the rule of thirds, and the light splits up the image. The rules on landscape don't really apply here as the camera effect has left it with a completely Black background.
