Backlighting


“Caution” This picture was taken when we were out looking for good backlighting photos, and I saw the caution tape. I looked at it from a few angles, but it wasn’t a good picture if I had taken it from straight on. I had to take the picture from a different angle so I thought of all my compositional elements and took it in a few different ways


            When I took this picture I was on Horizon Christian School campus just walking around. When I saw it the first thing that caught my mind was how it was layered so thickly like a big yellow onion. When my viewers see this image I want them to think of how it shows the yellow of the caution tape without really showing anything on purpose.
            There are a few compositional elements; they are Worm’s Eye View, Repetition, and Back Lighting. It is Repetition because the caution tape is layering itself almost thirteen- times. It is worm’s eye view because the caution tape is looking down at you.

Action Photos

"Getting Air"
This photo was taken when we did our photo day in photography class. At first  I was jumping ,but I didn't know how to do a crossover with the jump rope so Monica came over and I took this photo of  her. She did  a great job and did a perfect crossover.
    When I took this it was 12:16 and we were about to move on to a different thing when Monica started jumping. So I hit the dirt at a sweet angle and took this photo. I really caught her feelings when I took this photo. If you were to zoom in you can see her determination.
   There are a few compositional elements in this photo. They are Worm's Eye View, Rule of Thirds, and if you squint it's Leading Line. It is leading line because the jump rope is leading  to her.

     "JUMP". This picture is of some of my friends joking around shooting hoops having fun. I told them to try and block each other. They both did great and I took the photo only a few seconds after she released the ball. It came out perfect. 
      I chose this picture because in class we were talking about how we need to take action photos ,and this is just a great in the moment picture. When I took the picture I was thinking of the NBA. How the two girls were like Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash.
      The composition of this photo is action photograph,worm's eye view, and rule of thirds. It is worm's eye view because if I were to be looking at the photo from a worm's view it would be like me looking at a sky scraper. It's also rule of thirds because if I were to draw three by three lines down the picture both Monica and Kat be in those lines.

Repetion

This picture is on our property. It is  good picture of the swings it would've been nicer if there  was a kid swinging on it but it's still a good picture. the swings are still so it just calms you down it like feels tranquil.




This was originally a terrible photo  it was all off centered and the lighting was bad. It started getting a little better when I changing the editing.  I made it black and white it completely changed my photo from terrible to OK.

Framing

This picture was taking on the way back from picture day. I got down from the bridge and thought it looked like a good picture. It came out than I thought it would. So I took another picture and came out a lot better.      
This was during our journey we were just goffing off a little then I saw it. I had to crop it out a little but it came out really good. I like how all the logs are all stacked and together artfully. Overall it's a great picture.

Leading Line

  " The line that leads to the sky." My favorite photo so far out of all of the ones I have taken is the one of the cable line. It was really hard to take this photo. It took a long time because I was just chilling and relaxing when it caught my eye the way the cable line actually led to the sky.
      When I was taking this photo I was thinking of many different things. I was thinking of how to take it in a creative and artistic way. I was looking at the sky when it hit me take it from a worm's eye view! I took it and it came out great. Its my favorite picture.
       A few basic elements of  composition in this picture are. Leading Line is one it leads you to the sky. Another element is Worm' Eye View it is from a different perspective than just straight on. There is even repetition in this photo the three lines in the left are repeating even though they aren't the main focus of the photo.

RULE OF THIRDS


This picture is Rule of Thirds because if you can see that the leaves from the tree are hanging down much like when you have long hair and it gets in your eye. Anyway the point is this picture isn't  centered therefore it is not Rule of Thirds.

This picture is rule of thirds because the main focus is on the butterfly ,and  if we were going to draw three by three                lines in the picture then the butterfly would be on one of the corners in the middle lines.
