I believe this photo is one of my best photos because it draws the viewer in and it is an interesting piece. In this photo, there are leading lines that are vertical and horizontal. It is cropped so that only the columns and the shadows made by the columns are showing and not the whole structure. The use of light is used well because there are lots of lights, darks, and grays. Also, there are shadows and highlights throughout the picture. There is a good variety of contrast in the picture because of the range of grays. The pattern of the columns are very interesting. The way that the columns decrease in size slightly as the picture goes to the left makes the picture interesting.

In this photo of my friend Kelsey I tried mostly to focus on the cropping-having the dark trees frame around her, Use of light-made sure the light was behind me and on her, and last the interseting leading lines and focal point-the trees all lead to my main subject.
The main principals of design I used were contrast, balance, and emphasis. This photo has very little grey and just black blacks and white whites. I made sure there was a balanced frame around my subject. And last I emphsized the girl by putting her in a dark color so that it would stand out against the light backround.

I think that this is one of my best pieces of photography. In this picture some successful rules of composition i used are cropping. The cropping on this picture is successful because i eliminated all of the unnecessary details around the person in the picture. Another rule of composition that is used in this picture is angle of view. I think the angle of view makes this picture interesting because it isnt taken directly in front of the person in the picture. There were a couple principles of design that were used to make this picture a good one. The first principle used is contrast. There is a variety of contrast in this picture of darks and whites with a little gray. Another principle used in this picture is emphasis which is on the face of the person in the picture because that is what the viewer is drawn to when they view this photo.

The main 3 contrast i used in this picture are, line, leading lines, and texture. To get the angle of view i kneeled on my knees and looked up. Most interesting lines are the dark dark tree branches, and the light light leaves. (you can bairly see, the 2 overlapping pictures are a tree with a swing in my back yard, and a picture of a close up of the leaves on that tree.) This picture is interesting to me bacause it makes me think of my childhood. And how much i had, that was my swing and now i dont even fit on it. (ha-ha)

Like i was fadind away..kynda? Pattern, Movement, Balance, were all used in this photo.

This is a photograph of a bike rack. I tried to really focus on using angle of view to make the picture more interesting. I also used cropping to cut off the unnecessary details and to fill the frame with as much detail as I could while still capturing a pleasing, non-cluttered photo. There is also lots of texture with the wheels of the bike, the slick structure of the bike frame, and also the tree branches in the background. I also think the focus is very crisp allowing the eye to run smoothly across the photo and take in every aspect. This photo was from my very first roll shot and I think I did a fairly good job with it!
