Design+Principles

=**Colour Space**=


 * The use of colour space in a photograph can catch the viewers attention by causing contrast between the background and the object. Contrast with simple colours makes the subject really 'pop' in the picture.**



The bright blue sky and the white sand really makes the colour of the camel stand out A. The picture makes me feel curious at what may be over the hills of what seems to be endless sand B. The off centered yellow/tan camel is ballanced agaisnt the bright blue on the other side. C. The picture uses the natural light of the sun which seems to be coming from the top left corner D. The natural texture of the sand creates soft lines E. The focus of the picture is the cammel F. The background of this picture is the white hills of sand against the bright blue sky. G. About the beauty and simplictiy of nature

=Direction=


 * Direction leads the viewers eye around the picture**



A. This picture makes me feel peaceful B. The trees on the left side of the photo ballances against the stairs that are primarily on the right side of the picture. C. The natural light of the sun is coming from the top left corner. D. The leaves and moss on the rough stone creates tecture E. The focus is on the stairs F. The background is the trees bathed in sunlight G. This picture is about a continuing journey to a better day

=Planes and Depth Levels=


 * Planes and depth levels add a more 3D effect and strenthen the impact of the photo**

A. This picutre portrays the feeling of wonder and curiosity B. The picture is balanced by the electrical wires and the bird on one side and the wire post on the other side with the rolling green hills out of focus. C. The lighting is natural light from the sun that seems to be coming from the far right corner D. The hills of grass give of the texture of a soft blanket E. The focus of the picture is on the electrical wires with the bird and the wire post F. The background is the rolling hills

=**Dynamic "S" Curve**=
 * Dynamic "S" curve makes the viewer's eyes move around the picture following the path of a gentle "S"**



The dynamic "S" curve is in the clouds A. This picture portrays the feeling of loneliness and emptyness B. The darker clouds and the road are balanced against the lighter clouds and mountains C. The natural light of the sun is coming from the right side of the picture D. The gravel of the road and the soil on the ground create a rougher looking texture while the clouds have more of a softer looking texture E. The focus of the picture is the clouds as that what the eye is immedietley drawn to F. The background is the mountains and the clouds in the distance G. I think this photo is about a long and lonely journey.

=Framing=


 * Framing is a natural way of focusing the object and drawing the viewers eye immedietly to the subject of the picture**



A. This picture makes me feel curious at what may lie beyond the caves they are exploring B. The divers in the middle of the picture are balanced by the large rocks on either side of them C. The light is coming from the divers flashlights inside of the cave D. The walls and roof of the cave all have a very rough looking texture E. The focus of the picture is the two divers in the middle of the underwater cave F. The background is the contiunation of the caves into the distance G. I think this picture is about the discovery of new places and the beauty of the ocean

=Depth=


 * Depth draws the viewer into the picture and makes them wonder at what may be beyond as well as making the photo seem more 3-Dimensional**

The continuing doors through the other door frames makes me wonder at what may be beyond the last door A. This picture makes me feel curious at what is behind the doors B. The brightness of the light coming from beyond the first doorway is balanced by the dark blue walls C. The lighting seems to be natural sunlight coming from behind the first doorway D. The crumbling & scratched doors and faded paint on the walls makes the picture seems very old and weathered E. The focus is on the continuing door ways

=Balance=


 * Geometrical balance makes a photo visually appeasing to look at.**



A. This picture makes me feel peaceful and like I am spending the night in the jungle B. The two geometrically balanced trees in the forefront balance out as well as the trees out of focus in the distance C. The lighting from the moon is coming from the upper right D. The focus of the picture is on the two trees E. The background is the out of focus trees and the night sky F. I think this picture is quite interesting because it shows both a healthy tree growing symetrically next to a older dying tree
