Dick this one is for you - Lyell


Elements of Design - Bob


I guess I just like perspective shots and the lines in this photo (trees upward) and the road as it wanders away.

I feel that this creates curiosity about where the path leads to and what's next.

I really wanted a picture that you felt like you could reach in and touch the cat, I'm not sure if I achieved it well though. There is also a slight complementary color scheme.

I liked the complimentary colors of reds & greens in this scene.

Dave W - Elements of Design

Not a whole lot of color in this one but I like all the lines. There are a couple levels of horizontal lines that make me move across the picture and the runway dashed line takes me to the back of the picture. I also like that the light pole is so bright compared to the rest of the picture (complementary).

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN


THE WEATHER HAS BEEN TERRIBLE AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE TO DO ANY PHOTOGRAPHY. I AM POSTING A SHOT I TOOK A WHILE AGO IN ORDER TO ADD TO THE DISCUSSION.

TAKEN WITH MY CANON 40D f 8.0 1/730 ISO 125 AWB

Elements of Design- Lines and Texture


I don't particularly love this picture, but I do like the variety of textures. My opportunity for taking pictures this week was very limited, so here it is! In hindsight I would have shot it with a greater depth of field rather than down at f/2.8.

Elements of Design: Lines

I originally wanted to submit a streetlight reflection image taken from the other side of Capitol Lake from this scene but was dissatisfied after seeing the images on the computer. This image provides a curved line from the walkway wall as well as some light reflection in the water.

This seemed very lonely between the rain and sunshine.

A prime example of "Analogous Colors" in nature.

Elements of Design - Lines- Lyell

The primary element in mind when I took this photo was to be lines. However, it also demonstrates recurring shapes and monochromatic color.

Derek - Lines


This week has been very busy and the weather sucked. I didn't make it out to take the photo that I really wanted, but I was able to find something in the house to take a picture of.


I tried doing this one in AV at first but it wasn't dark enough for me, so I switch to M and got the shutter to 1/400th.
