Photographic Composition

 Simplicity: This bird represents simplicity because by having the sun come in under the right wing it makes the eagle stand out more and your focus stays right on the eagle.

Rule of Thirds: This picture demonstrates the rule of thirds because the image creates one focal point, using the rule of thirds. The picture is not very busy, and there are not distracting images in the background that take your eyes away from the picture. Since the picture is close up and in the left hand corner, you can clearly examine the image with no distractions in the background.

 

 Lines: This picture demonstrates the element of lines in photography, through its use of diagonals forcing the eye to focus on the center of the tire. This directs the eye to the BMW symbol (focal point).

Framing:  This image exemplifies the element of framing, through the lines that the panels of the archway create.  The archway frames the balcony and its architectural importance to the Communications building.  The angle at which I took the picture helps creates a greater sense of depth.  

Statue

The angle at which I took the picture was straight on and a little toward the left. I think the background of the picture doesn't really relate to the rest of the photo so for the next pictures I take of this statue I am going to try to eliminate the background so it's not a distraction from the photo.

I chose this photo because I think the way she's positioned and her hand movements say a lot. The photo I took at the beginning of the class was from far away and there were distractions in the background that were leading your eyes to somewhere other than the photo. I think this photo improves from the last one because its zoomed in and your eyes only stay on the statue, and you can see theres a lot of expression in her face.

Welcome

Hey! Throughout the semester I would really like to get familiar with iMovie, how it works and the different applications you can do with it. iMovie seems very useful and I would really like to learn how to make my own movies.
