Photo Scavenger Hunt - Composition

                                                           

Composition: Depth Linear Perspective

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels)

Definition: Depth linear perspective is when parallel lines 

appear to intersect at some point in the distance. 

The intersecting point is called the "Vanishing Point". 

Why I Chose the Photo: In the picture you can see that the walls and the lines of the floor tile eventually become smaller, and their distance shrinks as the picture goes further. There is a noticeable vanishing point at the door, where everything ends there. 

Composition: Asymmetrical Balance 

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels)

Definition: Asymmetrical Balance is when the photo is not equal on both side (one side seem heavier than the other)

Why I Chose the Photo: In the picture on both side everything seems balanced 

but the bulletin board on the right gives it more weight than the other side therefore it is an asymmetrical balance.

Composition: Depth Overlapping

Tool: None

Definition: Depth overlapping is when objects go over another to create depth.

Why I Chose the Photo: In the picture you can see the main focus is a locker that is in between in a line of lockers beside one another. There is a clear foreground that had been blur on purpose and middle ground with the line of lockers as the background in the back.

Composition: Rule of Thirds

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels, curves)

Definition: Rule of thirds is when a photo is divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two horizontally. This creates three columns, three rows and nine section in the photo. Rule of thirds is basically the photo that is taken using the imaginary grid to space out the image. 

Why I Chose the Photo: If you cut the picture into equal lines of two vertically and horizontally, you can see that the main focus in the photo is placed between the lines leaning to the center right of the image.

Composition: Human-made Framing

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels, curves)

Definition: Human-made framing is when something that is human-made wraps around the main object as a border which then directs the audience's eyes into the main focus more.

Why I Chose the Photo: In the picture you can see that the glass surrounds the person as an outline or border which makes the person pop out a lot more.

Composition: Intentional Blur

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels)

Definition: Intentional blur is when fast moving objects are blurred on purpose to create a moving effect.

Why I Chose the Photo: In the picture you can see that the person is spinning and is blurred while the background is still.

Composition: Leading Lines

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels, curves)

Definition: Leading lines is when lines natural or not is used to direct a person's eye to the main focus of the photo.

Why I Chose the Photo: In the picture you can see that the fence has lines that points straight to the person.

Composition: Selective Focus

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels)

Definition: Selective focus is when an image has an object with all the spotlight on it while the background and other things surrounding the object is blurred out.  

Why I Chose the Photo: In this picture you can see that the lock is focused while everything around it is blurred out.

Composition: Breaking Pattern

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool, levels)

Definition: Breaking pattern is when an object (design, etc.) is repeated but then there is something in the way that breaks the pattern.

Why I Chose the Photo: In this picture you can see that the books are the same looking, straight and tall but there is one book that is sticking out and is shorter than the rest breaking the unison. 

Composition: Form

Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (crop tool)

Definition: Form is when the object is a form (a 3-dimensional shape)

Why I Chose the Photo: In this picture you can see that textures and shade of the 3-D foot which is a form.
