Line and Shape
The location where I shot these photos is a local campground I always stay at. These pictures represent line and shape, and they all have different types of lines and focal points. The distance I took the second photo from was about one foot away from the actual object. The object is a birdhouse and my point of view was straight on. Most of the photos are vertical except for the third picture which was taken horizontally that was slight tilted. I used the rule of thirds when taking these photos to tastefully place the point of focus in the image and space the lines and shapes. The third photo is a dynamic composition photo that leads the viewers eye through the work starting on the left with the pipe, following the fence and ending with the stack of pipes at the right/end of the image.
Pattern and texture
The best photo in this gallery is the first one, the image of the bleacher steps. The distance I took this picture at is from when I was standing right at the bottom of the bleacher steps. My point of view is directly straight ahead while standing up. The photograph is vertical and follows the rule of thirds. It follows the rule of thirds by one of the bleacher seats lays along the first horizontal line and the peg holding up the first bleacher lays along the first vertical line. This photo is an example of pattern and texture. The repetition of the bleachers and the fence pegs shows pattern and the smoothness that is shown by the front side of each bleacher compares against the roughness of the side of the fence.
Overexposed - The second to last picture of inside the bleachers. On the left side of the picture the fence is too bright because the light was too much into the camera when the picture was taken.
Underexposed - The last picture of the fence and the road. In the back left of the picture is a tree that is too dark and looses the detail of the leaves on the tree.
Properly Exposed - The first picture of the bleacher steps. The scale of white to gray to black in this photo is properly executed and all important detail is not lost, but the gray scale is kept.
