Sabrina Ly - Blk H PHOTOGRAPHY  //__Photography__: //The art of creating durable images using light, electromagnetic radiation, etc. photography is like drawing with light. //__Etymology__: //Sir John Herschel was believed to have made the word "photography" known to the world. THE TELL ALLS: Photography can be used to express feelings and emotion, it can be used through creativity and simply for fun...  It is also used, to study movements by scientists.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Even though you're unable to see the face of the person in this picture, it's still considered <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">"amazing photography" to me because the lightning of this picture has made the top of the  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">picture really light, and the sun shines down on the girl in the picture, and it's a very elegant  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">looking picture, it's also very simple and was taken at a good angle. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The photographer had a very good eye while taking this picture, the fogginess across the <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">bridge looks very creative, and the lighting makes the clouds stand out even more because  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">it seems like the sun is pushing through the clouds, the photographer of this picture  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">also took the picture from a very good angle, putting the most visible part of the  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">bridge in the far left corner, then near the right side more, you'll see another part  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">of the other end of the bridge piercing out from above the fog. The colours in this <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">picture make it very interesting, because although it's a simple picture it's very colourful.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">This picture doesn't have much colour in it, the only colours you really see are <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">black, orange, yellow, and dark gray. Even though there aren't that many colours <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">the picture is still considered "amazing photography" because the sunset in this picture  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">makes other objects stand out even more. The water has a reflection of the sun on it <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">and the birds are darker because of the sun. The sailboats in the background stand out <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">as well, because of the sun. The photographer had a good angle, and they had really <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">good timing to get a picture of the birds the way that they did. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Simple pictures, can still be considered as good photography. There's not much in this <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">photo, you see a couple, in a wheat field, the sky, and a bunch of balloons. The thing <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">that makes this picture look the way it is though, is the lighting. The lack of colours <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">makes this picture look really faded, but that's also with the help of the lighting as well.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The reflection of the city off of the water makes this one of my favourite pictures. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The sky line is perfect, and it also reflects off of the water. All of the lights in the picture <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">stand out even more than they would in general because of the reflection off of  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">the water. The photographer got a really good angle of this because they got <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">one of the biggest attractions in the picture, as well as all of the other little buildings  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">with their lights on.

<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 450%;">//ANALYSIS:// <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">__DOs__: Pay attention to lighting, angles,  <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">detail, other objects around you, reflections,  <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">height, spacing, sizing. __<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">DON'Ts: __<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Have too many things cluttered in, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">take it from far angles where nothing is visible,  <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">have too much lighting in it, where you're unable to see anything,  <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">make things too plain.

//<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 450%;">PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN // **<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif;">BALANCE: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The positioning of large objects, affects the positioning of smaller objects. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">the lighting of the larger object, gets evened out by the smaller object.

**<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif;">GRADATION: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Produces linear perspectives, colours go from warm to cool, dark to light <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">for ariel perspectives, graditation with colours going from dark to light will make the eye  <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">move along with the object's shape.

**<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif;">REPETITION: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Thinks can look the same when you've repeated them the same way mulitple times <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">but once you add elements to it, it takes more than a glance to figure it out.

**<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif;">CONTRAST: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Contrast mostly has to do with colours, and the colour wheel... the tone in a colour.

**<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif;">HARMONY: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Combining similar/related elements together.

**<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif;">DOMINANCE: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Gives emphasis on images, gives them interest, counteracting confusion & monotony.

**<span style="color: #c7bdb3; font-family: Georgia,serif;">UNITY: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">When an active aggressive subject works better with a dominant oblique direction, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">course, rough textures, and angular lines.

This picture is taken from a low angle, it is a close up shot, the lighting is natural lighting but there was also effects added to it, an effect called cross process. I took this picture at a place called Waterloo Park, it was originally taken in colour, but then I changed it to black and white because I thought it made the picture more simple, this picture was taken from an eye level angle and it was taken from a long shot and it has natural lighting. This picture was also taken at Waterloo Park, it has a rule of thirds in it, and the reflection off of the water helps with the rule of thirds as well. It was taken from an eye level angle and it was taken from as a full shot, and it has natural lighting. This picture was taken in Banff, all of the lighting is natural and it’s taken from an eye level angle. I’d consider it a mid shot because the logs are close, but the mountains are far. There’s all round lighting because of the natural sun light and there were no edits to this picture. I like this picture the most because it’s really clear and it’s a really nice place and it was my favourite out of all the ones I had taken. There’s kind of rules of thirds in the picture, but that was unplan- ned. Everything in this picture just sits perfectly. This picture was taken from a birds eye angle, and is a mid-shot there's natural lighting in it, and there was a little faded effect used on it, which made the colours in the picture a little lighter. I tried to use rule of thirds for this picture, but was a little bit off with it, this was taken as a mid shot, and was taken at an eye level angle, there's also natural lighting in this picture and there were no edits or effects used on this picture.
