Photos of the Holland

I shot this on the 3rd floor at the library, i really like old books so that is why i shot so many of them, but this falls on the line of the third with very strong lines that pull you through the whole photo

I shot this through the back of a chair, the desk and light divide up the photo into the rule of thirds where the triangle type shapes give lines through out the photo

another shot of some books same principles and concepts this photo has a little bit stronger composition due to the fact the book starts right on the top third of the photo

again strong lines pulling you all the way through the photo, follows rule of thirds and vectors

the middle platform lies on a third, the stairs draw your eyes up to the key focus of the photo

long vertical lines set up this photo where the shadows on the wall break the photo into 3rd for us, as you follow the shadows down it gives you a since of direction

very strong focal point, strong lines of continuity and direction

strong lines pull you into the center of this photo squaring up and showcasing the vase, which actually isn't center, but i didn't want to move the vase and get in trouble, the desks actually lie on the rule of thirds mark, but due to the strong directional lines it works. even though it goes against the rules.

Landing Page

Over the break i found http://twilightconcerts.com landing page, and i really like how the page interacts with the mouse as you scroll over the image, it is intriguing enough to lure you into the rest of the sight, which is absolute crap and is limited in information it gives out. as far as landing page i think it was spot on with all of the concepts that we discussed in class, and provides a very lure into the rest of the sight.

Contrast Balance & Harmony

I took this photo a few weeks ago when it snowed up in Zion, i feel like this represents contrast perfectly. when one imagines Zion National Park they typically think of the harsh desert and the heat that is associated with those territories, but on the rare occasion we are privileged to view Zion dusted in snow. it is always hard to capture moments in time like this due to the area that it is in, blue skies quickly melt away everything that is represented in this photo. i feel as if the red is perfectly balanced with the clouds and the snow that creates a harmonious relationship. The key element in photography  is finding the balance in contrast which creates harmony. If you wait long enough the opportunity will present its self to be captured and then later to be shared.  The horizontal line starting at the bottom left direct you to more vertical lines of the rock, this is a stark contrast of lines that flow well with this photograph. this creates an overall balance of portions, between the sky, the rock, and the foreground. for these reasons i feel that this photograph depicts perfectly the scheme of contrast, balance and harmony.
