Assignment:

Please pick a theme, I don't care what theme you choose: football, guitars, Justin Beiber, whatever.

Then use Google Image search and find photos relating to your theme.

Find photos that show good examples of the following photo composition rules. Show me that you understand these rules. Make sure to tell me which photo represents which rule, i.e. label your photos with the proper rule title.

Once, again, here is your list of rules:

1. Rule of thirds

2. Balancing Elements

3. Leading Lines

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)

5. Viewpoint

6. Background

7. Create depth

8. Framing

9. Cropping

10. Mergers and avoiding them

When you have posted 10 photos – you’re done!!
