Art

This photo taken by Craig Hill is a wonderful example of art photography because as you can see this isn't entirely natural. It has been altered with a touch but it has definitely brought out the girl's eyes drastically There is a wonderful black and white contrast yet it is neither under or over exposed being black and whit. Overall i see purity and innocense in this picture which means an observer can really connect with this girl making this photograph a complete success.

Landscape

This is such and outstanding photograph. The colours work so well with eachother this is by for the best palette i have seen yet.This is a terrific example of landscape photography because it has captured a special and significant moment in time within the environment.Mike Clader took this photograph.

Environmental Portrait

This picture portrays a strong sense of the composition "environmental photography" because it has encaptured both human and environmental emotion in the one instance. I love how the girl is so pale and is wearing mostly white yet the background is so dense and dark, it really brings out the girl and makes her the centre of attention. The photogropher of this image was not documented.

One To One POV

Even this photo didn't state it's photographer i still believe that it is a perfect example of one to one photography as there is nothing between the capturer and his surroundings. The phtoographer was taking the photo of him or herself whilst in action skiing. I believe this to be and effective shot because it is taken in action yet is mostly well proprtioned and there is barely a distinction between background and foreground.

Bird's eye POV

This is a birds eye photograph of the decadent, luxurious, romantic and and magical Maldives taken by Weixin Shen. As you can see, the view of this photo is from above hence the name "bird's eye view."This is one of the most romantic and relaxing destinations around the globe and as you can see by the mere colours in this image, everything compliments eachother. It is truely a perfect place. Also, i believe that how the photographer has consintrated on one element (the resort) is very affective as it doesn't take up the full frame yet streches right across it.

Pattern

This iumage captured by Darren Rowse is a great way of emphasising pattern photography. Not only is each droplet evenly space, but the angle of the camera compliments each and every individual element. The light reflects superiorly off various ones and having one odd droplet only draws your eyes to the entire picture that much more. It's as if it has a bit of a christmas theme to it as well.

Open Format Cropping

This example of open format cropping (who's photographers name wasn't documented) is a terrific example beacuae not only is this image cropped ever so entisingly but it provides the viewer with a sense mystery, curiosty and not knowing what lies beyond the frame. Also, the coulours all blend very well with eachother because they are all dull yet not overpowering and in a way, are all different shades of eachother.

Diagonal line

This potograph, representing the diagonal line composition of photography, significantly demonstartes the true meaning of a diagonal line. As you can see, the impression made is that this turtle is trying to climp a large hill when infact it is simply sitting on a rock. When applying this composition to a photograph you gain the ability to decieve the eye. This photo was taken by Helen Pickard.

Horizontal line

This photograph, taken by Jean (didn't give her last name) is a perfect demonstartion of the art of horizontal line photography because, as you can see, the main focus is a horizontal stem. Your eyes are immediately drawn to it. Not only is the stem horizontal but it is being applies to the rule of thirds being placed one third from the top of the image. The raindrops which are well focus give the image more depth and makes the entire conccept of something so simple, so interesting.

Asymmetrical placement

As the dictionary states, Asymmetrical means that there is not element of symmetry present as portrayed in this wonder image caputring a flourishing Japanese themed garden. This is a perfect example of asymmetric placement as nothing about this picture is symetrical yet everything is in proportion. The pebbles in the foreground really compliment the thoughtful detail in the background whils the colous and various textures incorporate very well with eachother.

Nature

I find this picture of a cheetah cub one of the most effective nature shots i have ever seen. I couldn't idetify the photographer as the school had blocked the webite but i know that the person would've done a lot of waiting and wishing for this perfect shot. It includes not only a plant element but an animal element interacting with the tree too. This is what really makes it a successful nature image. The spots on the cheetah in this picture stang out as all the other colours are really light and the cheetah posses bold black spots that really draws my eye. Overall this is one of my most favourite images so far.

Photojournalism

Laurent Van Der Stockt has captured a very distort, unfortunate yet beautiful image. War has clearly swept this area and he has so evidently captured it. I find this image gives a very strong emphasis of photojournalsim because it is exatly the type of picture, journalists would kill to use in a breaking story. It really gives the observer a different perspective to life. Even though there is a great meaning behind this picture, the colours in the foreground really blend nicely into the background which i find quite appealing.

Portrait

I chose this picture as an example for mainly two reasons, one, because it's Julian Wilson and what girl doesn't like a professional surfer like Julian?. And 2, it is a great example of a portrait image. The photographer from "Outside" magazine really captured the light beautifully as there is a great contrast presented. Also, then only focus in this image is him, Julian, making it an excellent example of a partrait image.

Worms eye POV

This pictue presenting the composition of Worm's eye point of view is extremely effective. However, you have to be careful when deciding which situation to apply this format with. The photographers name wasn't given but i'm sure that a lot of planning went into this image as some don't work with this efect and can turn into a great diaster. In this picture, the colours really compliment eachother and the way that the trees portray the image of a canopy gives the image an extrodinary effect and an even better depth/meaning.

Rhythm

This capturing picture taken by Ursula Abresch demonstrates a wonderful composition known as rhythm. As you can see the droplets of water really emphasise the uniqueness and focus of this image giving it a really interesting depth and rhythm. Personally, i find the different shades of black and white used in the droplets the most effective and demonstrates a great example of rhythm.

Closed Format Cropping

Even though it is given who the capturer of this picture was (i think it is slightly embedded in the bottom left hand corner of the image) i see a powerful portrayal of the "closed format cropping" phtography genre in this image. It's as if the filter for this image is a sepia mixed with black and white. As you can identify, the photographer has cropped this image to the top left hand corner of the flower which gives you a more in depth meaning to it. It also gives the picture more detail and always makes the viewer take a second look.

Rule of Thirds

This image taken by Joseph Demko, is an equisit example of the "Rule of Thirds" photography composition. As you can see, the puppy dog is located exactly it the intersection oth the left hand sid of the thirds. I also identify this image as a successful one because Joseph has really captured the light and used it to his advantage like with this picture here:

As you can see animal images are extremely effective especially in my opinion and Joseph has clearly partrayed a strong message through them, belief.

Vertical Line

Despite this picture not stating its capturer, I see great potential in the Vertical Line composition of this image. When using vertical lines in photography, they provide the viewer with a certain sense of dominance and supremacy. It draws your eyes to the top edge of the photo almost instantaneously. This photo puts a lot of things in perspective and shows us that there is a greater meaning to this image than just trees.

Edge of Frame

This image taken by Jason Collin is a terrific example of an Edge fo Frame photograph. As you can see this is a significantly effective picture because you are just drwn to the edge of the frame where the main focus of the bird is. The lighting really compliments and brings out the true nature of this majestic animal.

Central Placement

 This image taken by Adam Paine is a representation of central placement as the idividual holding the surf board is located in the centre. As you can see this photo is very visually appealing as the light in the background really comes through and emphasises the morning effect. The main reason as to why this picture best represents central placement is that the main focus of this image is located dead centre.
