Breaking the rules

These 4 shots were taken this past Wednesday during class. I LOVED breaking the rules.

Rule broken: don't photograph your own shadow

f/5, s=0.769, FL 16mm, ISO 3200, no flash

Rule broken: Don't do diagonal lines from corner to corner.

This was my wife's favorite shot of the night. She liked the distinct orange and blue colors, and she could still see they were trashcans up against a wall

f/6.3, s=1/4, FL 16 mm, ISO 3200, no flash

Rule broken: don't adjust the zoom while the shutter is open

I disagree... I like this effect

f/6.1, s=0.625, FL 16 to 85 mm, ISO 1000, rear sync flash

Rule broken: keep the horizon level

Usually true, but I like the horizon balanced with the curb and lettering. I also like the perspective and depth particularly with the car to the left as reference.

f/5, s= 1/8, FL 16mm, ISO 2500, fill flash
