**Erica P.** __Photography __ ....... 5 Examples



I belive this is a great photgraph because of the neat effect of the rainbow on the ground. The rainbow reminds me a bit of "follow the yellow brick road" in the Wizard of Oz. I love how the camera angle really displays the rainbow and nothing much else so that the viewer is not distracted and the beauty of the colours really shines through against the darkend white background.

This photograph is a good example of how photography and special effects can trick you. this photograph was taken in sepia colouring as to appear older and all the subjects in the photo are dressed and posed in an old fashioned way doing somthing that was prominent in a passed decade. But when you look closely you can see that really the photo is quite modern and uses lego people.

This photograph (from photographer Mario Testino) with the head-on camera angle and close-up shot (much like if you where looking at a person you would look at thier face) is very dramatic. There is a model with a softer look (her facial features are highlighted by the strong lighting and camera angle) and then thiere are an pair of very sharp sissors. It shows how many women put themselves in danger for the sake of looking beautiful.

This photgraph with the night blur effect really shows the reader the carnival or midway experience, the bright lights the blur of the world around you on a ride, the speed and joy of the whole event. The photo really captures the essence of the ride and how fast they go and how you feel after going on one. This photo uses a side camera angles and a long shot, as to capture the whole effect of the ride.

This is a long-ish shot of a clownfish in a sea anemone, the fish is in the middle of the photo atracting the viewer and the dull blue vs the bight orange colours of the fish also help. The lines of the sea anemone arms also point out the fish. The value of the sea anemone also changes when it gets to the middle and near the subject (the fish) it gets lighter wheras the background is dark. The photo also follows the rule of thirds, the fish is in the middle of the cross sections.

....... Photography Q&A

**__Definition:__** The art or science of creating images by recording light ethier electronically or chemically by means of light sensitive material like flim.

**__Types: __** Black and white, colour, digital, pin-hole camera, steroscopic, infa-red, full spectrum, ultra violet, etc Skills: People who yearn to be good photographers require certain skills and know certain principles such as a good eye or the rule of thirds.

....... Principles of Design

The principles of design are used to arrrange or organise the elements of design. "If the elements of design where ingredients then the principles are the recipe."

**__ Proportion: __** The relative scale and size of multiple elements in a design within a work.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**__<span style="color: #410141; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 200%;">Unity: __** The use of repition and varity of shapes and images in a work to create a sense of pattern or whole, balancing the work.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**__<span style="color: #3c013c; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 200%;">Balance: __** Is used to equalise the work using symetry and asymmetrically balancing the elements of a work.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**__<span style="color: #3c013c; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 200%;">Direction: __** Used prodominatly by the elements of line and colour, it draws the viewers attention to certaine desired aspects of the work and emphasies.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**__<span style="color: #410141; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 200%;">Emphasis: __** Can be achived in a number of ways using multiple elements to draw attention to and highlight the focal point of an image etc. There is usually an interuption in the partern or rythm of the composition creating an emphasis.

Some camera angles are; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ high angle <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ low-angle ( views the subject from below. makes stuff look big, towerning.) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ bird's eye view (from way up high, looking down at the subject. Tends to dwarf things.) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ worm's eye view (from way down low, looking up at the subject) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ eye level shot (at eye level with the subject, direct) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ Oblique or tilted angled (the horizon is on an angle, the camera is tilted.) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 200%;">__**Shot Length:**__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ Extreme Long shot (view more than the entire body, the horizon and buildings) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ Long shot (an entire person head and feet) ~ medium shot (half the human body; head shoulders and torso) ~ close-up (face or head, maybe shoulders or neck) ~ extreme close-up or macro (really close to the subject, fits only a feature such as an eye) ~ ~ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Side lighting (illuminates part of the face while the other part is shadowed. The light is on only one side of the subject)) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ Lighting from below (a more "scary" effect the light source is below the subject) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ Behind lighting (the subject is mostly dark the light is from behind the subject) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">~ Difused lighting (the lighting is bounced on to the subject with a refelctor)
