The things that I saw in these photos were old organisms, most of them being a sort of tree, in their natural habitat. Their age varied from 2,000 to 700,000 years.
I learned that there are still things that old still on our earth. I thought there were maybe like 3000 year old things but there were some things that even went up to 700,000! For me, that is completely mind-blowing.
a) I picked this photo because I was curious as to what it was and wanted to look at it in more depth. I also think it's quite interesting to look at.
b) I saw two big rules. One of them being repetition because there are a lot of the same organisms in one area. I also saw depth of field because you can see the foreground and background.
c) Rachel Sussman took this photo along with all the other photos.

I looked at a video that was a collage of many time lapses of Rio. It varied from things like the sunset, the crowded beaches, clothes flapping in the wind to a river flowing. It captured the true busy life and beauty of the city.
I personally didn't learn much from this video but it reminded me that life moves on no matter what happens and it could be fast paced and as much as it could slow you down, there is also a beauty in that and it is up to you to see that beauty.
a) In that video, I saw many short time lapses of the busy and beautiful life of Rio. Each time lapse was only a couple seconds, but when all put it together, it ended up being a minute or two.
b) Joe Capra was the creator/ photographer for this time lapse video.
c) There was a story but it was not very obvious and it was more weaved into each clip. In my opinion, it was life is very fast paced but you still need to stop and see the beauty.
d) As I said earlier, I learned you just need to stop and see the beauty and simply absorb it.

I looked at a website with six things that the author considered everyone should know how to do. In all of these, they looked very intriguing and they were not something you could capture simply by taking a photo.
I learned many cool ways to enhance my photos and make them a lot more interesting.
a) I picked this photo because for the past year I seen photographers and bloggers post this style of photo and I have constantly wanted to learn how to do it because it fascinated me a lot.
b) Although it is kind of hard to find rules in this photo, I was able to find balance (simply because it is all in the middle) and viewpoint (the angle is what makes this photo so interesting).
c) This photo was taken by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.

I looked at a series of photos of staircases, but not just any stairs. These were all spiral staircases and the way the photographer angled the photos caused almost an illusion looking photo.
I learned that simplest things can be photographed in a certain way and the result can be very intriguing and fascinating to look at.
a) I chose this photo because you would think the circular spiral staircase would look more cool than a more geometric, square looking staircase but this proves that to be wrong. This photo looks like something a child would look at and just stare at because of the type of illusion it creates.
b) The absolute biggest rule of photography in this photo is leading lines. The way that the lines of the stairs leads to the next floor is how the illusion is created.
c) The photography who took this series of photos is Christian Richter.

The category I chose to look at was the marine photographs because I have always been interested in that sort of thing. All of the photos have the subject of a sea creature or person.
I always knew that technology had allowed us to take pictures underwater but I didn't know they were that advanced and it is quite cool how well we could capture an image almost anywhere at this point.
a) I chose this photo because I had always been obsessed with the ocean since a very young age and in my eyes this photo represents exploring the secrets and unfamiliarity of the ocean.
b) Some photography rules evident in this photo are framing (the way the water line and rocks outline her) and simplicity (the background behind her is just blue making her standout)
c) The photographer who took this was Eric Volto.
