Hurricane Ike

This is a good picture because it uses many of the rules of photography.  It used viewpoint, rule of thirds, lines, balancing, and patterns.  Viewpoint is by the height at which this picture is taken. Rule of thirds is used by having the grouped houses in two of the bottom thirds. The houses are in rows which shows lines and also patterns. And finally, balancing is used by having alsmost the same exact thing on both sides of the picture if you cut it in half vertically. It has many simple details in this photograph.

This picture is also very detailed. The rules of photography this picture shows are rule of thirds, depth, viewpoint, framing and lines.  The dock shown in the photo is in the rule of thirds, as you see the main part is in the lower right point (if you actually divide the picture in thirds and find the four points). Depth is used by taking a picture of the shore with the city and it goes waaay back.  Viewpoint is used by the height and view of this photo.  The long road, almost in the middle of the picture horizontally, frames the city.  Finally, lines are shown in the picture with the roads going vertically towards the city.
