Geometry

1/100 sec; f/3.6; ISO 100

I have always been interested in the geometry of bridges, the architects and all of the work that goes into making sure it works just right is so complex and mind-boggling to me.

Angles

1/100 sec; f/4.1; ISO 125

I thought this picture was funny, yet it worked well for the prompt of angles. It’s a unique angle that I don’t think we think to take photos from often.

Rule of Odds

ISO 300, f;2.8, 1/250 sec

I love this picture, and it represents the rule of odds because there are 3 people in the image (although only 1 is the subject.) If one of the people on one of the sides of the subject were removed, it might look less balanced.

Negative Space

1/100 sec; f/4.1; ISO 125

I thought that the use of negative space in this photo placed a big emphasis on the beads and really encapsulated the warm light that came out of my lamp. I think that the use of negative space is really interesting when considering how it can affect the feelings in a picture.

Leading Lines

f/1.6, 1/300, ISO 40

This guy sitting on this bench in solitude just looked so mysterious, and I thought that the elements of the tree and the oceanic skyline really tied into this prompt. These elements create a visual illusion of lines extending indefinitely, suggesting a sense of infinity beyond what is immediately seen.

Symmetry Landscape

1/800, f/5.0, ISO 125

For this landscape, instead of doing a traditional boring shot of a perfectly symmetrical landscape, I decided to take inspiration from the symmetry of the two girls in the center, being perfectly at the halfway-point of the image. The view was breathtaking so I couldn’t help but snap a pic.

Rule of Thirds Motion

1/100, f/4, ISO 800

For motion, you can see my friend Mia Delgo positioned on the left “third” of the photograph. I took this picture on a cloudy day overlooking the SF Bay. She is in motion trying to balance in a tricky spot on this balance beam.
