Discuss your 9/11 composition shots



Now that you have found good examples of the different composition techniques in 9/11 photos, go back and edit your posts and discuss the photos. Explain your choices.

How to edit a post in Blogger - From the Dashboard, select "manage: posts" and click on the WORD "edit" next to the post you want to add to.


What to discuss - Be specific - Describe specific elements in the photo. Explain what the technique is all about. Explain the EFFECT of the technique.




Example




Lines



Good Example - In this photo, the red stripes of the flag and the grey ladder all form lines that lead the eye to the man playing the bagpipe. Since these lines are diagonal, they give the photo a dynamic feel.
Bad Example - The flag makes leading lines to the guy.
