Composition

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.
