Holding Hands

 

Only seeing small parts of a subject in a photograph can have a big affect of the photo. This photo shows in the corner the girls smile which creates a different feel then if you only saw the hands holding. This photo has two center of interests, one is the hands and the other is the smile. The hands are in the center which draws the eye but the smile is unique and the only other thing seen in the picture, this causes them both to be the center of interest. There is balance in this photo with having each set of hands on each side. I am happy with the way her smile made the photograph have a happy feel.



Hoop

 

Simple photos are nice to the viewer on occasion because it is easy to the eye because there isn’t much to look at. This photo was originally taken farther away but was zoomed in to create a simple photo. The center of interest in this photograph is the basketball hoop; the lines on the backboard draw the eye to the hoop. The hoop also has many repeating diamonds and triangles that draw the eye.  This photo is close up so having the sky as the background helps the viewer to only look at the hoop. I am happy with the way this photo  turned out.



Close Flower

 

Getting close to the subject that you are photographing is a very important element in photography, it makes the viewer feel more part of the photo and know what’s really there.  I like to get close to what I’m photographing because it puts a different feel and read on what is being shown. This photo’s center of interest is the flower, the flower also has rule of thirds. The flower isn’t intersecting anything in the photo, this makes it have much more dominance in the photo then the surrounding elements. I enjoyed taking this picture and getting close to take a unique kind of picture.



Tree and Blue Sky

 

Nature has always been a favorite of mine to photograph, I enjoy it because I am capturing something that will change as season do. This photo in particular is a favorite of mine because of the way the sky looks and how it outlines the tree. The center of interest in this photograph is the tree. The tree has rule of thirds with it being a third of the way over, this make the photo more unique then having the tree in the center of the photo.  Even though the tree is intersecting with a few other trees on the far left it still have its own space because it is the only tree that branches out into the sky. I’m happy with the way the colors came out in this photograph and that I was able to capture this scene.



Red Paint

 

 

Colors atract the eye differently then other colors do. Red atracts the eye before any other color does. In this picture the viewers eye goes to the red in the paint before the blue, green, white, or black, this causes the red paint to be the center of intrest. The picture has balence by have the center of intres being more toward the middle of the photo. Red is such an important part in photos, only having a little of it inpacts the photograph dramatily.
