Rules broken: all of them. This is a bad picture for so many reasons; poorly cropped, the trash can in front of the main subject, over-exposed, all kinds of reflections off the window, the women's head is cropped off right through her forehead... but I like it because she is watching (and "listening") to him play from inside Starbucks.

I walked up to the capital building after the field trip and this cute little girl caught my eye sliding down the ramp on the wrong side of the steps. I let her move through the frame and captured this just before she exited. Her family were out of frame to the left keeping an eye on her.
Rule broken: Never lead your subject right out of the frame.

"I went to the park one day and a photographer's convention broke out"
Rule Broken: keep the actual subject of your photo in focus. What's interesting to me in this picture is the park-like feel with the bench and young women in the foreground, the green grass... and the crowd of photographers in the background.

"Lady in Blue"
Rule Broken: again, never lead your subject right out of the frame. This still works for me because of the chaos of the trash can, the bikes and chair, offset by the "the lady in blue"

Rule Broken: Never take a picture of your teacher. It will cost you $200. REALLY?

PS: Thank you to whoever may have picked up my spent coffee cup from under the bent at Sylvester Park. I went back to pick it up and it was gone. Devin
One more rule you could have broken in the Starbucks pic - "Never be reflected in the picture while snapping the shot!" Would have added to the chaos. PS - Where's the tiny dachshund - Emily??????
ReplyDeleteYes REALLY - you DO owe me for posting my PIC, even if its just a partial of me. :-)
U R Welcomed - I picked up your cup!
Another great display of how to successfully BREAK THE RULES! - Makes my heart sing!
I like that one with the girl looking through the Starbucks window. It looks like she really likes the guy *but we all know she was really smiling at that cute puppy! ;D
