Rules for Photography

Rules to be Broken! Rules to be Followed!

This is my challenge for tomorrow - is to using at least two of these rules or strategies to improve my composition and design.

1. Pattern and repetition                        
2. Framing                                                
3. Point of interest                                    
4. Leading lines                                         
5. Symmetry
6. Filling the frame
7. Unusual points of view   
8. Negative space
9. Rule of thirds

Were do I even begin?   

I was driving the other day towards a storm in the car. Taking a picture of the approaching storm. It reminded me of the first terminator at the end when the guy at the gas station tells Sarah Connor 'there is a storm coming.' 

So this is my Terminator picture. 

Leading Lines:
I have used the lines of the road to lead the eye into the picture and to look at the main event - The Terminator Storm!

"Looks Like a Storm is Coming"

Pattern and Repetition:

This is a photo from inside the Sydney Opera House. This was the first time I had been in it and inside is just as amazing as the outside. In this photograph I have taken the pattern created by the lights above to give the photo a sense of distance. - Opera Pattern!

Opera in the House! 

Follow - Up: Christmas is well over and I am not fitting into many of my clothes - no more chocolate (very very sad face). I wore my French style Knickers - I loved them. I did go out to take some pictures of the Aurora the other night - did not see a thing but managed to have some fun playing around with my camera.
