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.
