1. Animal Photography
2. Rule: Simplicity
3. This photo had to be taken close to the surface of the water because you can tell that the sun is being used as the natural lighting behind the turtles head.
4. The photographer had to have all waterproof equipment and probably a big zoom lens because I don't think the turtle would have let him be that close to it.

1. Landscape
2. Rule: Simplicity
3. The light source had to be natural lighting from the sky
4. The photographer used either a wide angle lens or a fish eye lens to get this effect on the picture and he most likely used a tripod because the camera is at a certain angle where is directed up towards the sky.

1. Nature Photography
2. Rule: Reflection
3. This photo was taken outside during the day so the lighting is natural from the sun.
4. The photographer had to use a piece of a mirror in order to get the reflection.

1.) Action Photography
2.) Rule: Balance
3.) The lighting in this photo is most likely artificial because it looks like an indoor pool, but you can tell the photographer used a vignette so that your eyes focus in more on the diver.
4.) The photographer needed a very small shutter speed to take this picture since it is perfectly in focus and maybe a tripod since the picture is perfectly balanced.

1.) Portrait Photography
2.) Rule: Simplicity
3.) The lighting is used with studio lights and they are positioned to where the model has shadows on half of his face
4.) the photographer needed a studio backdrop and studio lights

1.) Nature Photography
2.) Rule: Creating Depth
3.) This is a natural light source, I'm guessing it was taken in the middle of the day because the light is one solid color and it doesn't portray sunrise or sunset colors.
4.) The photographer had to use a wide angle lens and had to be in a plane or helicopter so that he/she could be very high up in order to fit the entire setting in the picture

1.) Street Photography
2.) Rule: Leading Lines
3.) The lights in this photograph is used with a long exposure since this picture was taken at night. you can tell its long exposure because the lights are blurred because they are moving but everything else is in focus because everything else is still.
4.) The photographer needed a tripod for this picture to keep the camera steady
