Asymmetrical Balance- without symmetry, no mirror image  

 the cups are uneven on either side 

Bird’s Eye View- ariel view, looking down from above 

the picture is taken from above to create a different perspective.

Curved Lines- a continuously bending line, without angles.  

 the lines are curving downward in the picture

Diagonal Lines-  Diagonal lines generally work well to draw the eye of an image’s viewer through the photograph 

the diagonal lines are bringing the eye completly throughout the photo 

Emphasis- area that first attracts attention in a composition

the black and white then has one color which then the subject is in color. 

Framing-a technique used to bring focus to a subject

the subject of the picture is framed by another thing to create emphasis. 

Horizon Line- often act as a dividing point in a photograph 

  the horizontal line divides the sky and the ocean 

Horizontal Lines- conveys a message of ‘stability’ or even ‘rest’ 

 their are many lines going horizontally 

Leading Lines- lines that lead eyes to a different point in the image 

each of the lines direct the eye from the street to the sky 

Movement/Rhythm- can be directed along lines, edges, shapes and color

 the arrows show movement through the picture

Pattern/Repetition- repeated elements consistently throughout a piece of work. 

their is a repetition of the fruits 

Proportion/Scale- ratio that defines the size relationships

shows the difference in size as age 

Rule of Thirds-   subject of a photograph based on the division of the picture space into thirdsthe puppy is in only one third of the picture and the rest of the picture is just background.  

Simplicity-   place the subject against a neutral background like a backdrop or the sky. 

 calm colors and a simple subject 

Symmetrical Balance- one side mirrors the other typically separated by a vertical line. 

the apples are the same on either side

Texture- the feel of a surface  

 it looks as if you can feel the picture

Unity- all elements work together to produce a balanced whole 

 the picture is relatively the same all around

Variety- obtained through the use of diversity and change by artists who wish to increase the visual interest of their work

 their is major difference in the picture, many different trees

Vertical Lines- lines that run north and south in a photograph.  

 the lines are running from top to bottom 

Worm’s Eye View- a view of an object from below

 a view from below that creates a different perspective 

Image	E/P of Design	Rational
	framing	The subject is in the middle, and surrounded by the wooden frame.
	texture	The leaves have texture if you feel it.  You can almost feel it just by looking at the picture.
	birds eye view	You can see the top of peoples heads it's what the birds would see.
	movement/ rhythm	The bird is moving through the water
	horizon line	The line is going along the horizon.
	vertical lines	The lines of the buildings and the pillars on the gate by the water are vertical lines.
	horizontal lines	many horizon lines all in one picture.
	asymmetrical balance	Two main subjects not evenly placed in the picture.
	leading lines	All the lines are leading to a specific point.
	symmetrical balance	Many subjects evenly placed in the picture.
	diagonal lines	there is diagnol lines in the photo.
	proportion/ scale	The people are small and can only do so much compared to the large oil spill
	pattern/ repetition	The rope is just repeating throughout the picture.
	curved line	a pattern of curved lines
	unity	they all look the same and are the same thing, flamingos
	worms eye view	Worms are on the ground, looking up they see everything above them.
	simplicity	There is only a bit of  color in the picture which makes simple and cool.
	variety	There is a lot of colors and different shapes.
	rule of thirds	the subject is in only one third of the picture.
	emphasis	There is emphasis on the tree because there is not anything else in the background.

What is composition?
     The arrangement of visual elements within the frame of the photograph.

2.    

 Why is it important to understand & utilize composition in photography?  

           To get a near perfect photo you must apply all elements to decide what elements are in the frame and which ones are not.  All of the elements in and outside of the frame help to make the picture memorable.  

3.     Describe aspects of a “snapshot”.

          A snapshot is a casual event of some event or person or object.  It is a picture clear enough to preserve some memories.  

4.     Describe aspects of a “photograph”.

        An artistic interpretation of an event or person or object.  A photograph must be composed.  All of elements must be selected and arranged to work together.  

 5.     “Photography is the art of ____discovery ________”

a.     Describe what interests you the most about this art form or what drew you to this form of communication.

Photography allows you to document important things in your life and learning how to document these moments in your life even better by learning the different settings on the camera.

in photograph #1 I made everything in focus including my subject and the back round.  I made my aperture small which made everything in focus.

in photograph #2 I set my camera to the setting TV which created the blur while the background was in balance.

in photograph #3 I got a close up picture which then made my iso high which created graininess.  Zooming in on the eye you can see the graininess of the picture.

in photograph #4 I achieved my selfie by putting the camera up on a step and setting my selftimer which gave me time to run down the stairs and pose for the selfie.  I programmed my camera before setting the timer to be focused and on the portrait setting.

White balance helps to ensure the colors in the photo are accurate.  The white balance lets the camera compensate - you point it at the surface that you see as white, and it adjusts the picture settings so that what you said was white, is actually displayed as white by the camera.  This way, no matter where you are shooting, colors will remain true even if the lighting conditions change.  The aperture is the device the determines how much light comes through the lens for a given amount of time. The shutter, meanwhile, is what determines how long that amount of light is allowed to hit the sensor.

What is white balance?White Balance helps you get the colors in the image as accurate as your eye sees them.
Why is it important to set your white balance?By adjusting the white balance setting of your digital camera, you can alter the required light or temperature to produce the most accurate colors in a digital image.
