Warm-up and assignment for today-p1

this also showed me what a hard time it must have been for the elderly to get out fast when this was happening. this photographer uses alot of  balance and leading lines and some mergers

this picture made me think about how not just humans but animals were also affected in this tragedy and that they lost their homes to. this photographer used some mergers and balance in this photo

this makes me think about how devastating and power full this was and how nature can just destroy whatever it wants. i think this photographer used alot of leading lines and nice framing.
