I Chose To Add This Picture As A The Rule Of Thirds. Because The Man Has
Plenty Of Room To Walk In The Picture And. I Also Like This
Picture Because It The Man Looks Really Small
Next To The Building.

I Chose This Picture For Balance, Because Theres Lots Of Shapes
Including Ovals, Triangles, Squares, And Rectangles. The People And All
Of The Objects In This Picture Form Shapes. It Is An Interesting Picture.

Pinhole Finale


Differences: The Negative Picture Is Darker Than The Positive Picture.
The Negative Is Flipped , The Parts That Are Darker In The Negative Are Actually Lighter.
The Positive Is More Visible And Understandable.

What Happened With The Negative Photo? The Lighter Parts Of The Negative Picture Was Actually Lighter.
 
Definition Of Negative: Noting An Image In Which The Brightness Values Of The Subject Are Reproduced So That The Lightest Areas Are Shown As The Darkest.
 
A Negative Image Is A Total Inversion Of A Positive Image. Therefor Light Areas Appear Darker And Vice Versa. A Negative Color Image Is Additionally Color Reversed With Red Areas Appearing Cyan, Greens Appearing Magenta And Blues Appearing Yellow.
 
 The Bending Of The Picture Occurs Because The Light Bends Away From The Normal.

Pinhole Camera(:

I Chose This Picture Because It Has A Great View. The Photographer Kinda
Rotated The Camera. It You Look Really Closely At The Trees You Can See That The Trees Are Moving, And Theres A Very Small Blur. The Focus Is On The Buildings And The Trees, Are Out Of Focus. This Picture Is Warped: On The Buildings But Specially The One On The Right.

I Put This Picture Because I Don't See A Point To It. There Is Action Going On In This
Picture, And Theres Also A Big Blur, Mostly At The Bottom Right Corner. In My Opinion I Think That There Is No Focus On This Picture. And I Think That It Is Not Warped.
