Assignment 4: Break a Rule! -- Congratulations Jorundr-Jorgensen!

These photosare of the Oklahoma City National Memorial at dawn. Two broken rules: shooting into the sun and rule of thirds. I've always like shots into the sun at dawn, especially at hallowed places, brings a feeling of renewal. I think the symetry works in this case because of the reflection. The first imageis two images, stitched together and orthorectified. Canon XSi with 18-55mm kit lens @ 18mm, handheld, f/8, 1/30s, ISO 100. The second image is at 1/80s.

Nice pictures...this competition is really cool [:D]


Thanks for the comments by the way [Y]

Hey Guys, the finalists have been posted. We have 6 this time. All the pictures were fun to see, but special congratulations to those six. Vote on the first post for your favorite photo and if you would post a reply at the end to keep this near the top that would be great too!





Thanks. Voting goes till the 16th.

Excellent choices (even though I wasn't among them)![:D]

Great! Good luck everyone!

Im not goin to post a picture but i just wanna say being a good photog is about breaking rules because rule make boring pictures in my opinion and interesting ones with power and emotion are the one that break rules becasue why does it matter when the endd result will be with a smile on the viewers face or a frown or emotions and messages are expressed....

Couldn't agree more! Good luck everybody!
