1. Captions

Pope Francis bows to the wreath in a mausoleum of the founder of modern turkey as his guards take their position next to him. The Pope visited Turkey to make ends meet as the violence continues in Turkey against Christians and other minor religions.


Young student Lily Lee studies intently for her upcoming final for school. The students were allowed very little time to study, which added much stress to Lily and her classmates.


2. Rules of Photography
Rule of thirds - placing the subject on one of the outer thirds of the grid, where the subject is slightly off center.
Balancing Elements - having an equal amount of things on either side of the picture, and not having one side more subject heavy than the other
Leading Lines- having a line that draws the eye straight to the subject
Symmetry or Pattern- having a certain object repeat in a picture in the same position, often in a straight line. A commonly used example is a row of chairs or a row of computers
Viewpoint- changing the angle of the camera, like birds eye view, which is taking the picture from above; or worms eye view, which is taking the picture from a lower point that the subject
Background- having nothing interfere with the nice background in the picture, which tends to happen a lot.
Depth- a picture where the background has a lot of dimension to it, where the viewer can see how far back the picture goes. Shadows enhance this even more
Framing - using the subjects surroundings to make a 'frame' around the face
Cropping- cropping the picture to avoid busyness around the picture
Mergers and Avoiding them- mergers is when the subject of the picture blends in with background, creating an illusions as if the background element and the subject were one thing in total. To avoid them, be aware of the background surroundings
