Color Theory

Posted on January 20, 2026February 4, 2026 by joshuac

The banana and the red jacket are contrasting colors. I wanted to show color theory by using colors that contrast well with each other. I went with yellow and red because these are colors that fast food restaurants use. These colors used by fast food restaurants are meant to be eye catching because of the…

Rule of Thirds

Posted on November 1, 2025November 12, 2025 by joshuac

To showcase the rule. of thirds, I took this frame and made it the object that would be the focus of my photo. It is off center by being 1/3 of the photo on the horizontal axis. The three skateboards stacked against the wall I thought would be another interesting way to showcase the rule…

Fill the Frame

Posted on October 1, 2025October 5, 2025 by joshuac

Fill the Frame was the theme of this photo blog picture. The intention was the have a simple background and have very neutral colors. I used the 55mm lense because there was a table in the way and I couldn’t get the whole sign with the 50mm lense. The 55mm lense let me alter the…

Geometry

Posted on May 23, 2025June 6, 2025 by joshuac

My photo blog today was to show geometry, I decided to use my brother’s bed sheets which has a checkered pattern. A lot of the geometry seen here has a lot of contrast between the white and black squares. It also has a lot of repetition because the pattern keeps repeating throughout. I thought to…

Angles

Posted on April 3, 2025April 14, 2025 by joshuac

Finding angles was something that I struggled to find and I originally didn’t have any idea of what to take a picture about that had angles. I ended up settling on taking a picture of this concrete edge as it had a sharp 90 degree angle that was formed with line engravings. The way that…

Negative Space

Posted on February 17, 2025April 14, 2025 by joshuac

The picture that I taken has a drinking fountain on the left and a ventilation system. Towards the right of the picture, there is nothing but a wall. I chose to take this picture to show negative space because I thought that the colors in this scenery had very neutral shades of grey and the…

Center Frame Portrait

Posted on January 21, 2025February 3, 2025 by joshuac

The purpose of this photo was to create a center frame portrait that had an aspect of loneliness to it. So I look for objects around my home that I could do this with. Using rocks, I placed one rock very up close to the camera and put the rest of the rocks bunched up…

Holiday Balance

Posted on December 24, 2024December 25, 2024 by joshuac

During the Holidays, it has become a custom for my family to decorate our home with lights and nature. Last year we had a Christmas tree up in the living room but this year we decided to set up a garland on the table that we had bought from Trader Joe’s. For the prompt of…

Leading Lines

Posted on November 12, 2024November 12, 2024 by joshuac

The photo that I took has been my favorite that I have gotten to capture. When deciding how to capture this photo with leading lines, I had not known what leading lines were so I had searched the internet for inspiration and saw a lot of roads that had the picture taken from the center….

Symmetry Landscape

Posted on October 23, 2024November 12, 2024 by joshuac

In this composition, I struggled a lot to find a symmetric landscape that gave even values of depth to balance out the photo. On one of my walks, I had seen these trees lined up in this way that stood out to me because it had felt very organized than what I would normally see…
