Time: Activity 5

The image on the right has the subject in focus, while the ball is blurred. The subject is portraying a sharp composition.









The photograph on the right is similar to the one above. This similarity is that the subject of the boy running is sharp while the background is blurred.












The image on the left was taken while the basketball was spinning. Therefore, the image is blurred.

The photograph is different for the second one because the subject is inverse. This means that the subject is blurred and the background is sharp, or in focus.

Landscape: Activity 5

The above image portrays depth of field because the two rocks not only frame the composition, but they create a natural pathway for the eye. The viewer's eye would gravitate towards the stream, but then notice the trees in the background as well as more rocks. Depth of field is important because it allows the reader to focus on different elements that make up the composition.

Landscape: Activity 4

The left image is a closed landscape because the tall trees cover the majority of the sky, and there is not much else to the picture. The image on the right is an open landscape because the viewer is able to see the sky, trees, water, and rocks. It has a larger aperture as well, which allows there to be a larger scenic view. The difference between the two photos is the left one was taken at a portrait angle and you can only see the sky through the branches of the trees. Open landscapes are used when the photographer wants to capture a wider scene, not just focus on one particular tree or building.

The two images are similar in perspective. Both pictures are taken from the same viewpoint. The painting appears to have more rocks, as well as a more animated and exaggerated color scheme. The photographer is able to capture the shimmery clearness of the blue water; however, the painter is not able to do this effect. In addition to this, painters have more space to be creative and portray the image as it appears in their head. Both images capture the beauty of Lake Tahoe, but I believe the photograph does a better job at being realistic, and therefore, has the better picture.

The image captured is of a broken dock that is leading into the ocean. The photographer is trying to convey the path of life as treacherous and that you will get broken along the way. Also, the ominous mountains in the distance signify the great unknown feeling of not knowing what each day on Earth will bring.

The photographer uses leading lines to capture the readers eye and draw them off into the distance. Both images take place near water, which is a symbol of renewal and rebirth. The gleaming sun in the distance is a beacon of hope for the future.

The slow shutter speed allowed the carnival ride to be blurred. The photographer may have had difficulties with timing, lighting, and people walking in front of him because it was a public event.

In this image I see an overview of a city. However, the main subject is the giant cross, which, as the viewer looks closely, is a graveyard. I believe the image is art because he uses techniques such as rule of thirds and leading lines.
