Examples of Photography Elements

Below are three examples of three different elements of photography.  The three elements that I am demonstrating in this blog are; simplicity, avoiding mergers, and pictures in motion.  In order to take good photographs, you need to follow the elements and rules of photography.  Here is a PowerPoint  where you can find other examples of photography elements and tips for photography.


In this photograph, I am depicting the element simplicity.  This photograph is very simple and not complex.  It simply demonstrates a single leaf in water. 




In the above photo, there is an example of the photograph element called avoiding mergers.  Avoiding mergers is basically the same thing as avoiding cutting off someone’s body part in a picture.  In the photograph, my little brother’s arm and face got cutoff half way.  This is something you need to avoid in the art of photography. 




In the photo above, the rule/tip for pictures in motion is demonstrated.   The rule for this element is; if the object you are capturing is in motion, allow there to be space in the photograph in front of the object that is performing the motion.  In the photo above, I took a picture while my brother was riding his bike through our yard.
