"To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event." - Henri Cartier-Bresson
Framing Follows
This image is one of my favorite pictures taken, and it happens to be one of the first ones I took for this class. This image partially follows the rule of thirds, and has leading lines everywhere. From the picture frame to the brick wall, every line leads you to the blurred background. The reason this image is my favorite is because of the Angle it was taken at, the Depth of the photo, and the intensity it puts on the picture frame. Though the frame is the focus of the picture, it's not centered. This element adds a unique sense to the photo which attracts the viewers.
Support Frame
This picture has an amazing angle, taken from below and from a unique point of view. Lines and Shapes are everywhere in this picture, adding interest in every inch. With the pipes in the background filling up the negative space, there is very little negative space leaving for more objects to hold your interest. Though the photo is blurry, it creates a design on the strip in focus that naturally isn't there. As i said before, the angle of this photo makes the image different. The pipes and the lines on the ceiling in the background make the image full, and has no negative space.
Pond View
This picture is my number one photo that I have ever taken. The rocks in the middle, the trees on the side, and the reflection of the trees on the water make for a fantastic compilation of a picture. The colors of the trees during this time of year were fantastic and were complimented with their reflections off the water. This image follows the rule of thirds perfectly with the rocks in the middle and the horizon making the lines for the thirds. The tree on the left is perfectly lined up with the imaginary thirds line.
Trees Point of View
This picture has a great point of view and many leading lines and shapes. The point of view also gives you a unique view towards the other trees behind the one up close. I liked this image because it has a great sense of depth. The tree follows the rule of thirds better than Planned, yet the twig in the middle breaks this "rule". The depth of the forest makes the viewers wonder "where is this?" and "What is beyond?" which makes users become interested in the photo.
Pond Dock
This point of view of this pond has some interesting elements to it. For one, it has a sense of depth, reflection, and follows the rule of thirds. The reflection in this image is my favorite aspect due to the interesting colors. The way the trees reflect against the water is always an interesting visual.The vibrant colors in this image really adds a colorful fall feeling to this image. Thought the pole might not be in full focus, it is a nice element in the picture to add a sense of depth into the photo.
Snow Tracks
The snow tracks in the snow adds interesting depth to the photo. The rocks give you a textured look to the over all image, and the difference in color adds interest. With the point of view being so close to the ground it kind of makes the rocks look like boulders in a frozen pond. The extreme close up to the snow makes it instantly attractive. The rule of thirds is followed perfectly in this image because the top third of the image is all forest while the bottom two thirds is a snowy path. Depth plays a major role in this photo, because the focus is close up in the snow while most of the unfocused part of the image is the forest. Some foreground is a bit unfocused, which then leads the viewer towards the main focus in the snow.
