16. Angles and Shapes
Number 16 is my favourite. It really shows you what it would be like to walk up to the entrance, and gives you a feel of what it's like to actually be there. It's well focused, and exposed well. The staircase walls almost frame the building, but still leave the exposed sky to give it an open feeling. The stair entrance makes the picture seem symmetrical, but then the building in the background adds some diversity to mix up the style. The lighting is dim, which adds a nice effect that seems like you would be walking into the light.

"Capture what you have learned"
Zone Focus
Focusing in on one particular area where action is likely to happen and waiting for the action to take place in that area.
Shutter Speed
In Action photography, this should be as high as the aperture allows if you do not wish to have any unnecessary blurs.
Panning
Having a low shutter speed, focus in on a moving subject and move with them, to keep them in focus, yet have a completely blurred surrounding. This looks cool, and makes you pay attention to the subject as you should.
Waiting for the Pause
During almost any sport or action, there's a transition in directions and movement, a pause, which would generally be a good time to take a picture.

Parks
My favourite photo from the Parks Presentation. A candid portrait of a man playing an accordion for money. The effect on the viewer would seem to be sorrow and pity, making you want to go give him some money yourself. The lighting and shadows on the old man makes the subject itself more dramatic, and that he's sitting down, as if to symbolize he were below everyone else, makes you feel even more sorry for him.
