For these three photos I attempted to break the rules of photography... Which didn't turn out as well as I had anticipated. It was actually difficult to break rules despite the fact that I was not trying to use them, they just turn up no matter what photo you took. So I decided to focus on one rule, the most prominent, the rule of thirds.
For my first photo I was walking behind the group and I noticed that everyone was bunched up, it almost looked like the end of a line. Sometimes if an opening popped up, I could see all the way to the first person in the line. So I took advantage of this and tried to get everyone in the center of the frame, thrying to get everyone the farthest from the "focus points". I didn't really check this photo while I was there, I should have because I think I could have gotten a better one.
My second photo, I like, there are several things that fall just off of the "focus points". I took this on the intersection before graffiti ally, since I had a few minutes to play with settings I took about 7 photos of this. I really liked using a higher exposure because it helped make solid colours "pop" more. You can see this because of the McDonalds sign, the white car and the graffiti to the left of the McDonalds sign. By only eliminating one rule, I was able to allow other to stay therfore creating an enjoyable photo to look at... I think.
For my last photo, I dunno. This was taken by accident. I wanted people in the foreground, but not EVERYONE. I like this one because although people fall on the "focus points", your attention is still drawn to the pink bike because of it's extremely contrasting colour. I think it breaks the rules by breaking the rules. It's cool how the bike is still the main focus point despite the fact that "elements of design" say it should not be. I find it interesting how great this terrible photo turned out!
