Lens flare-
 http://www.lightstalking.com/lens-flare

This website showed many photos, of very different styles, places, subjects and scenarios. Yet all shared a single thing, all had lens flare. A bright light peaking out of the corner or taking over the image.

A simple touch to a photo like this makes the whole image have more life and adds more dimension to the photo as a whole when used right.

I picked this photo because unlike the others the flare came from artificial lighting and they are made up of varies colors.

This photo follows the Depth rule of Photography.

 Spinning around a building-
http://fstoppers.com/how-to-spin-a-camera-around-a-building

Two people at Candy Glass productions decided to put together a video to teach and inspire others how to make a video that looks like you are spinning around a tower. They teach you step by step how to achieve this effect.

This video was uploaded to a channel ran by Jon Lemon. I believe though that the video itself was made by people in Candy eye production.

The people in the video of Candy eye production wanted to put together a fun video to show and teach friends, family, and anyone interested how to create such a video.

I learned from this video that something that seems so incredible ad difficult can be made with much more simple steps to end up with this amazing final product.




NYU by bike
http://blog.tomolesnevich.com/personal-projects/#nyc-by-bike

  This website had several photos that seemed to be taken below and beside a bike. How this was done i am not sure, he may have strapped it there but either way, wow. In these images the photographer rides around the city of new york and takes many images along the way.

I learned that if you want to do something or take a picture of something there is always a way.

I picked this photograph as my favorite because he passing by a set of police men who appear to be in the middle of business and the photographer is just taking a picture as he rides by.
This photograph is using the rule of thirds and the rule of balancing.

B&W landscapes -

http://digital-photography-school.com/27-black-and-white-landscape-images

 

On this website i looked through many photos of different landscape settings all in grey scale. Many where of water, some of the sky, others of trees. Some amazed me with the moment it was in, it is incredible what the word can look like.

I learned the earth can look many different ways, just depending on the time, day, or even exact moment you capture it in.

I picked this photo because the water looks so smooth and i find it to be very interesting how the photographer achieved this, and how the longs seem to go on forever.

This photo uses the rule of depth.

 Storms-

http://www.lightstalking.com/storms

 

On this website there where a series of photos taken right before different storms in different settings. The photographers did an amazing job with editing and making the sky look incredible.

I learned that with a touch of Photoshop and the right timing you can make something that destroys so much such as a storm into something great to look at.

I picked this photo because even though the Photoshop is a bit noticeable it works! The colors in this photo are so vivid and amazing to look at and the water looks almost unreal it is so stunning.
This photograph follows the rule of depth and balance.
