Although this isn’t perfectly symmetrical, symmetry can be found in the smallest places.
Category: Composition
In our weekly photo blog, we were challenged to take photos that implement compositional techniques.
Rule of Odds
The rule of odds requires that there be an uneven amount of subjects in a photo, and the theory states that this can create a more visually appealing effect.
Rule of Thirds Emotion
This picture of Colby shows emotion to me because of the way he is looking into the pink sunset that fills most of the frame. I get a nostalgic feeling from this photo.
Fill the Frame
Filling the frame can be a useful technique in photography to isolate a subject in your photo. I think that the black background of this photo is able to make this pink sign stand out well.
Frame within the Frame
Although I couldn’t actually use a real picture frame for this photo, I had to improvise. I think that is photo is able to frame the subject with the bright red car and windshield.
Using Props
I used my necklace and a tinted window to create this image. I think that tinted can be a really cool way to play with photography and make anything look more impressive.
Depth of Field
This photo gives an interesting angle of my golden doodle dog Freddie. I took this at an angle that would change his size a bit and show more depth of field.
Viewpoint
Taken from the viewpoint out of the passenger seat of a car in the hills. I like the perspective that this shot gives of the long street.
Color Theory
Color grading is used widely for in photography and film and can be a very helpful tool. I took these photos of flowers and turned up the intensity of the yellow to make them appear more vibrant.
