Motion Blur

 Picture of a cardboard flower, you can see the motion of the flower in the liter tones of yellow. The color creates a magenta purple in the background.
 Blurred picture of a car on California street. I like this because the shadows (especially on the car) gives an old fashioned cartoon-like feeling.
 The blur of the blue flower, gives a ghostly trail of where it once was.
The colors and blur describe what the sign says.

Depth through Repitition

The bushes get smaller with the increasing distance between them and the camera.

Generic trash cans look tiny from far away.

Each chain link gets bigger as they come closer even culminating in the hydrant hinge.

Another chain picture, yet the chain seems to be in an impossible position.

Depth through Foreground Background

The front figures are much closer as brought out by the blurred background.

The leaves in the middle seem to be on their own plain due to the blur in the front and back.

The lone plant sticks out on the barren rocks, the bricks are almost hard to focus on due to blur.

The Flowers are much closer than the people in the back. Their curves have more character than the people in the back!

Leading Lines

As the spokes of the wheel get farther away the get shorter and shorter.

As the pillars get farther away they get shorter and shorter. 

Similarly to the car wheel the closest spoke is much longer than the farther ones

Each hole in the table acts as a line of perspective getting smaller as they go farther.

The plants act as lines of perspective the closer one being twice the size as the back one.

Leaf acting as a line of perspective as they get smaller farther away.
A very deceiving picture, the first thing you notice is the blurring of the church. Naturally the leading lines of thing lines of the church draws your eyes upwards, to what should be the sky. They lead right to cloud like murky water, which takes you to the revealing factor in the picture, the leaf at the bottom of the puddle.

Rule of Thirds


On a table, a coke bottle and a bag

On California Street

Leaves in the Gutter

From the Bushes

The Rule of Thirds applies to the man in the photo who is a little left of the bottom right gridline. The picture balances this by having the traffic lights and cars on the right third, and the street on the left.
