Emphasis

The  black of the background contrasts deeply with the bright,
naturally saturated red of the cake batter, so that the batter pops out. This 
shows emphasis on the beater, not only because it is the brightest thing in 
the photo, but also because also it is very large and takes up most of the
frame.

Radial Balance

This picture displays radial balance, because it not only has the three main
lightbulbs, but it also has all the delicate inner rings in each light. It kinda 
looks like Saturn. This is unrelated, but it also shows depth of field, because 
the light on the left is focused and sharp, while the one on the right is blurry
and out of focus. But all the round edges do make it qualify for radial balance.

Symmetrical Balance

This is actually one of my favorite photos, because of how high the definition is, 
and how the black in the background contrasts intensely with the batter, lips,
and the color of her skin. It shows symmetry because you could cut the photo in
half, and it would match up. The beater fills nearly both edges, but the main
symmetrical feature is her face. The moles are the one thing which are not symmet-
rical, but i didn't want to edit them out, because i think they are exotic despite
Madi's protests, and add interest to the photo.

Asymetrical Balance




This shows asymmetrical balance because it is not symmetrical. The buildings are
placed at random intervals, and the raindrops aren't balanced so it does not
display symmetry, making it asymmetrical.

assignment 1 Edited



Although this photo is not extremely artistic, i think it shows the object in center very well. Since both the subjects are wearing dark colored jackets with lighter pants, it centers their torsos in the middle of the photo, and the even space on each side anchors the image, so this photo displays object in center.

Assignment 1 Edited

When we edited our photos, we had the to make three copies: one of the color and contrast improved, another in black and white, and the third we could do whatever we wanted. This version was the last one, and i chose it because it is very creepy. Her eyes were already very big, but i made them larger, and so her makeup dripped down her cheeks to make it weirder, and blurred the leaves so it brought all the focus to her face. This photo shows frame within a frame, because the leaves frame her face, and displays the different objects.

Assignment 1 Edited

This photo is an edited version of one of my favorite shots, and it shows foreground elements.
I like  it because having a figure in view doesn't detract from the landscape, but instead shows size
and dimension.

Blog Post #1

So we are making a google blog account to add to our collection of accounts we have created for this class. I think I've made more accounts in this class than my entire high school career.
