Avoiding Merges


Two years and two wars after the September 11 attacks, President Bush's aura of invincibility has faded and his challenge may be to keep his presidency from being more associated with Americans dying in Iraq than with his dramatic pledge at Ground Zero to battle terrorism. Bush is shown with retired firefighter Bob Beckwith (R) at the scene of the World Trade Center disaster on September 14, 2001.
This picture is what you shouldn't do if trying to avoid mergers. This has merges behind President Bush and the other men. The merge is the building behind them, it draws attention and also merges the hats of the men to it.
A man watches smoke emit from the former site of the World Trade Center September 12, 2001 in Hoboken, NJ. Smoke filled the air all over lower Manhattan in the aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist attack and destruction of the World Trade Center.
This picture has no merges on the man unlike the other picture. It has no merges because the picture is zoomed out. This is the better picture of the two.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. Some challenges I encountered while trying to shoot were trying to find a good picture that resembled Bowie but also fit one of the composition techniques. Another problem I encountered was trying to find a picture that brought interest to the prompt metal. 2. I found myself thinking about framing the most. I tried to give a background but keep the picture simple. One time was for the the happiness photo of Avery. I tried to give the colors of the background but also not give too much to take away attention from her. 3. I would have redone the Bowie one, and took a picture that wasn't as faded, zoomed in more to frame it better, and make it simpler. 4. One thing I would have done the same would be the happiness photo with Avery because I feel like I framed it good, without mergers, and I got the rule of thirds in the picture. 5. I would be interested in shooting these prompts again because I feel like I could get better pictures for Bowie and metal
