Blog Post #4- Value Contrast, Emphasis, Leading Lines, Framing, Rule of Thirds, Spacial Relations

This picture is value contrast because there is the bright and greyish sky compared with the dark petals and stems of the flowers. The sky is contrasting with every plant such as the trees and flower. I took this picture from a downward angle so i could get the sky in the background as being bright, with the rest of the objects much darker.

This picture represents emphasis because it is a solo tulip flower in the heap of dark and rough looking bushes and the tulip stands out a lot because it is so bright and has contrast with the bushes. I shot the picture from an upward angle, looking down on the flower. I really like the shadow of the tulip behind it and it makes the tulip look large. I also like the simplicity of the tulip and its not heavy emphasis, but it still leads the eye to the flower.

This picture represents leading lines because the lines lead towards the direction of the rock at the end of the bridge and there are many examples and showings of leading lines in the picture, not just with the floor leading to the rock. There are also examples of leading lines with the sides and the posts that hold up the gate to the edge of the bridge. I shot this picture while laying on the bridge, trying to get the best leading angles towards the rock and also noticing the other lines that could be in the photograph.

This picture represents framing because the girl is sitting on top of the rock and the trees and bushes frame her and the rock. This isn't the most clear example of framing, but you can tell that she is being framed by the trees. I really like the natural framing of this instead of generic and simple framing, and it was a cool discovery to find the trees framing her.

This picture represents Rule of Thirds because 2/3 of the picture is grass, and 1/3 of the picture are the blocks of wood. I really like this angle because it not only follows the rule of thirds, but it also has value contrast. I like the textures of this picture and the smoothness of the wood.

This picture shows spacial relations because the girl looks like she is fit right into the sole of the show and she looks very small inside the shoe. I shot this picture on the grass and the girl was very far away from the tennis shoe. The shoe was much closer to me than the girl and it took a while to focus and make sure it looked realistic. I really like this photo in particular becuase it's unique and creative.
