5 websites

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

Most photographers try to avoid lens flare, it is light scattered within the lens. This usually ruins the photo but some photographers do it to add creativity 

Something that I learned was that a flare is good for a self portrait but when taking a picture for something that a lot of people are going to see, i think that its better to avoid the lens flare 

I chose this picture because it is my favorite because the picture is dark and the flare really stands out. The rule used in this picture is the rule of thirds. Erin Purcell took this photo.

I'm not sure what this website was telling us but i think that it means some of the simplest things that we see everyday, can be very beautiful to take pictures of. 

I couldn't get the picture that i wanted to put up but it was a picture of a tree behind a pond with a duck swimming across the pond and the sun was setting. i chose this picture because i just liked how the picture was set up and everything just looked so peaceful. the rule used was rule of thirds. this photo was taken by Kevin Day.

Pictures of storms are a very popular topic, but there are many prosedures that you have to follow to take a really good photo of a storm. 

 Something that i learned is that is that its better to stabilize your camera to take a good picture. 

I chose this picture because i liked how is and i like how it was captured. The rule used in this was rule of thirds and balancing. Mohamad Muha took this picture.

Most astonishing images 

It takes very good cameras and clean lenses to take a great photo like these. 

Something i learned is that there are many bacteria on our phones even though it may look clean.
