Taken at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. Samuel Barnard in his apartment on the 13 floor of his apartment complex waking up to a giant Spongebob on his window. 

Family vacation in Italy with Samuel Barnards siblings. Jumping off the makeshift diving boards into the cool blue waters are his two older brothers and younger brother. Its a family tradition to jump off this cliff.

Last night's performance at the Vazquez brothers performance. Great performance with their prized horse Daniel. Taken by Samuel Barnard who was present at the show. 

1. Rule of thirds - The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs.The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

2. Balancing Elements - formal balance, also called symmetrical balance. As the name suggest it is when one or more identical or similar subjects are repeated symmetrical on each sides of a given point. informal balance or so called asymmetrical balance is when one or more dissimilar elements are balancing on each side of a given point. 

3. Leading Lines - In art, Leading Lines are lines that guide your eye through the painting or photograph.

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition) - They can make for very eye-catching compositions, particularly in situations where they are not expected. Another great way to use them is to break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and a focal point to the scene.

5. Viewpoint - A camera angle in photography, filmmaking, and other visual arts

6. Background - The back of the focus point in the picture can also create a sense of simplicity.

7. Create depth - making your eyes look beyond the photo like looking into the distance. 

8. Framing - the action of framing something

9. Cropping - cropping the photo at a specific angle or position.

10. Mergers and avoiding them - A merger in photography occurs when a background object is directly in front or behind a subject. If there are multiple subjects in the photograph, a merger can also occur if both main subjects overlap with each other or touch the sides of the picture frame.
