Other Composition Techniques

The above picture of the tennis court was retrieved from http://www.photoble.com/photography-tips-tricks/leading-lines-in-photography/ under the heading "Leading Lines in Photography. The photo was saved as a JPG file, which as we learned is 24-bit, making it High Color. I find that it is a good example of the composition technique, leading lines. Not only is there the line of the tennis net, but there are lines on the ground from the concrete and the lines created by the fence around the court, all leading to the effect of the vacant tennis court.

What a cutie! This picture is a good representation of the composition technique, framing. Not only is the boy framed by the wood posts, but his face is framed through his haircut and freckles. This picture was also saved as a JPG file and I found it on, http://www.digital-photography-school.com/tips-portrait-photography under "Frame Your Subject".

From www.webdesigncore.com I found this amazing photo that I think grasps the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words," as it is titled "Tramonto Silhouette". From the title is is obvious that this JEP file formatted photo is an example of the composition technique, silhouettes. I think the idea for the photo was brilliant, it captures such a fun, yet calm scenario all in one.

Continuance in Design

The above picture is an example of the theory, continuance as used in design. I feel it is a strong example as the stairs spiral down to a central location in the picture making the eyes follow to a particular spot every time, only to want the picture to go farther. I thought this picture represented this theory in a more exciting way than then simple straight line down a page.

Balance in Art

This is an example of the principle, balance. I believe this is a strong example because it shows horizontal symmetry. If you were to draw a line from top to bottom in the middle, it would fold over like a mirror image. Having a strong color like red draws the attention to the circles evenly placed on both sides of the yellow line. I retrieved this photo from http://art-fundamentals.blogspot.com/ where it is used as an example of "Symmetrical Balance".
