Leading Lines

Image
Leading lines is a composition tool that proves to be very effective in drawing the viewers attention to a specific point in the picture. Photographers may use leading lines to draw the viewers attention on to a certain focal point or a vanishing point in the frame. Symmetry is when you can put a straight line through an image or object, and fold the image or object over that line to get an exact matching half.  If you use your leading lines as a symmetry line, then the picture would come to a balanced point where each side is the same leading to a focal point.  The photographer that took this picture used the hand rails and the stairs of the spiral stair case as leading lines to the vanishing point in the middle. This composition is not symmetrical because the spacing of hand rails gets narrower as they go down.  I shot this picture by standing to the side of the mirror so you could see more of the track lines and the handrail. I used the lines on the...

Rule of Thirds

Image
       Rule of thirds is a way to set up the movement of the viewers eyes and and the focal points that they will focus on. It is important because it frames out out your picture better and can make the photo more pleasing on the eyes. Some cameras have the grid already on them, but if you don't you can just put two horizontal lines and two vertical lines on a clear sheet and get the correct grid.         The photographer placed the deer on the right vertical with the grass ending at the bottom horizontal. The rule of thirds makes you want to look right to left, since the photographer left space to the left.        To take this picture using rules of third, I lined up the vertical columns with the vertical grid lines and lined the top of the entrance with the top horizontal grid line. The focal points make the top of the entrance stand out and draws the viewers eyes to it.

PENGUIN        In the foreground of our box, you will see a single penguin next to a group of four other penguins.  In the middle ground of our box, you will see a polar bear to the right of the group of penguins, and an airplane that is hanging from the top of the box with fishing line.  In the background of our box, you will see two hot air balloons a large group of penguins and a man riding a horse.  One thing I would change about our box would be the fore ground because I the pictures we used weren't in the best place. Our strongest area of our box is the original background and the sky because they are the things that look the best.

Depth of Field

Image
Depth of field is also called focus range or effective focus range, is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene. Aperture is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening of the lens. also controls the amount of light let in to the film or digital sensor. Shallow depth of field helps isolate and emphasize one part of the image from a distracting background.   Deep or wider depth of field keeps most of the scene in focus.  Deep Depth of Field Shallow depth of Field Deep depth of field Shallow depth of Field         In the deep depth of field picture, you can see how the background is clear and not so blurry. To take the photo I had Ben hold the Swedish fish out away from his body while I unfocused the camera from the fish to clearly see everything in the background. In the shallow depth of field, you can tell by the way the camera has focused on the fish and the background gets progressively...

Alternative Angles

Birds Eye View Usually taken from above object looking down.  Birds eye view is usually used for floor plans, blueprints, and maps Worms Eye View Picture is taken from below the object while looking up. It can make an object look larger and more dominant. Eye Level When the camera is positioned directly in front of the object at eye level. object or person won't have to move up or down for a straight shot. Tilted Tilting the camera so the horizon is no longer level. it can add a unusual or dramatic perspective. https://itstillworks.com/definitions-camera-angle-shots-1185.html        This picture was taken from worms eye view. The photographer pointed the camera up while standing at the bottom of the tower. The perspective makes the tower look larger.         This picture was taken with with a dutch tilt. The photo was taken by by tilting the camera in line with the crease of the bench. The perspective makes...
