Static and Dynamic

This photo shows static composition in architecture because the columns are shooting vertically giving the picture an upward momentum to the top of the building going straight across horizontally.

This photo shows static composition in landscape because the only subjects in this photo are the flowers, which are all growing very straight vertically. There are no other shadows are main focused
lines going at angles.

This photo is static composition of still life because the files are all going horizontally and the shelves 

are all an even amount apart.

This is a static composition portrait because the pole is very vertical and the two girls are staring directly horizontally.

This photo shows static composition in architecture because there are angles receding down in the rows of windows, all the floors are at angles, in the foreground there is a sharp angle where the wall and roof of the closest buildings come together. There are a lot of angles and shadows you can focus on in this shot.

This shows dynamic composition in landscape because the railing is coming down at an angle.Each stair has an angle and the bigger green stairs, a part of the house, have distinct wood planks shooting diagonally. The shoots of grass are tilted left, also corresponding with the railing.

This is a dynamic photo of still life because the computers are all going at the same angles and the  tables correspond going across at angles

This photo is a dynamic portrait because the angle of their elbows are contrasting and the subject is looking off into the distance

Rule of Thirds

I used the Rule of Thirds by placing the center of the flower at the intersection of the top third and the right third to insure the flower as our main focus.

This depicts the rule of thirds because the post follows the right third's line directing the eye all the way up to the sign, the subject, which lays right on the cross between the top and the right thirds. 

This picture shows the rule of thirds because the subject in focus is completely in the left third to create a more visually appealing view.

Object in Motion

For this photo I wiggled some Christmas lights I have hanging on my wall and took a shot of the waves of motion it created. I converted it to B&W because it illuminated the lights and made them pop.
