1 Spiral Staircases 
http://petapixel.com/2014/12/19/disorienting-beauty-spiral-staircases-old-abandoned-buildings/
On this website, I saw different photos of unique spiral staircases from around the world. Many were of abandoned buildings, in Germany especially.

I learned that there is beauty in every day things such as staircases if shot at the right angle. In order for this to happen, the photographer must find the pattern, and position their camera in order to capture the pattern.

 a) I chose this photo because I love the lines and the pattern that directs you down the photo. I love that it doesn't look like a normal staircase.
b) The rules of photography that I see in the photo are lines as the lines all lead you to the bottom of the photo or the ground.
c) Christian Richter took the photo. He is an art architecture photographer from JeBnitz, Germany.

On the website, I learned about the different ways to have style in photography. Many parts of having style is taking out of the ordinary photos.

I learned that even very successful photographers don't have as much style due to them getting comfortable with the basics. In order to get style the photos must be different and unique.

On the website I looked at Joe Capra and his time lapses. He takes time lapses of different areas all over the world.

I learned that there are other types of photography, such as time lapses that are able to capture all the changes over a period of time. These time lapses are pretty cool because it can show so much more than what a photo could.

a) In the video, I saw all of the changes that happen to Rio every day for a period of time.
