Patterns

Man Made
I think this photograph works because the pattern on the tire is really noticeable. Itried taking this photo from close up and tried to fill the frame, but unfortunately the camera i was using is really bad when trying to take photos close up

I think this photo works for two reasons: ONe the patern is kindof faded and the shoe is off to the side a bit. (RULE OF THIRDS) I took this photo after noticing my friends sole hade an interesting patter on it.








Natural
This pattern photo works because it shows something very common in nature that no one sees like this. Also the lines in it are efective in making me feel happy or with energy.



This photo is efective because the lines in the palm tree are calming. Also they are in a pattern within a patter (the leaves behind).









Improve


This photo needs to be corrected because the quality is really bad and it is really blurry. on the good side the pattern in really obious









Well
I didnt really use a technique on this photo, but i think it works because i actually used my imaginationa and set it up.

Composition Techniques


This photograph is of the rule of thirds technique. I think the Photographer used this technique effectively because it draws the attention of the viewer to the person standing to the left.






This photograph is filling the frame. The photographer use this technique effectively because it completely fill the frame. The technique, in this case, added a sense of mystery because you don't know what its is. Also the coloring is great.













This photograph is portraying the leading lines technique.
the phortographer is using the technique effectively because
The lines on the bridge lead to the Japanese castle, and thus
letting the viewer know where the photographer was trying
to focus on. 



Before and After


















These are my before and after images. I feel its ok to make adjustments to your photographs, especially if they need it. I feel like the enhancements i used made both photographs look better, by sharpening them and fixing the lighting. I don't think that fixing your photographs is wrong because you took them, meaning they are yours to do whatever you want to them.

Favorite Photos


This photo is of a fox jumping across a stream. You can see the fox's fur moving around in the wind. This photo also wants to make you think that the fox is probably hunting or seaching for prey. the photographer's purpose on taking this picture probably was to get the fox in motion.


 This photograph is of an elderly woman, most likely of a native american descent. I thought this picture was amazing because you can actually see her expression close up. She look like she's worried about something. The photographer probably took this to show the living conditions of the elderly.







 This photograph is of General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Aparently he is rallying the troops before a battle in WWII. This image shows the respect they have for him and it makes me think how the troops felt about the war.The photographer probably took this because he knew that history was being made everyday during the war.







                                                               



                                                                                                                        
This picture is from the great depression era. I like this picture because you can see the sorow and anguish the woman feels. If you close in on the photograph you can se shes carrying a baby. The photographer probably took this to show the efect of the depression on peoples lifes.
This photograph apparently looks like its a rocket. I like this photograph because they angle the photographer took it in is preety cool. Also I think the color and the clarity of this picture is great. The photographer took this probably because he saw this huge thing and thought it was cool.
