1- This one is using the rule of thirds, you are directed at the statue of liberty, but you are also drawn to all the smoke coming from the right of the picture.
2-This picture has symmetry with the cars on one side and the ambulances on the other, which creates a leading line.
3- This photo has symmetry with all the metal planks, which somewhat leads to the man in the machine.
4-This photo uses object of field,because you see all the remains of the buildings behind the man, but you are still drawn to him.And you get a sense of sadness.
5- Lastly, you see that children are watching the twin towers fall, the photo is using the rule of thirds again, you are drawn more to the two girls in the front, on the right side of the picture.
These photos were the best, because you can tell with these, that they are more interresting, by how your eyes are drawn, and you can easily tell which techniques are being used.
Couple notes, 2 and 3: they are sort of symmetry. The photos themselves aren't symmetrical, but the scene in which they were taken are. I feel that 2 is more so of depth, because with the long stretch, it feels like you could just walk right into it. 3 definitely has repetition with those metal planks, and the man in the crane breaks that repetition in both color and shape which is what leads your eye to him so well.
ReplyDelete4- depth of field; yes, it does have a slight sense of depth of field, but its very minor. The strong contrast in color, value, and texture draws us to him more than the fairly wide depth of field.
5- Yes, but I think the narrow depth of field (blurry foreground, blurry background, sharp mid ground) and the brighter lighting on the girl (toward the middle) control what we notice more than anything else in this photo.
