Composition and the five
















































1. This picture shows shadow and light, the light shines on one side of the snow, creating a light/dark impact.

2. This picture shows a part of composition of photography, Simplicity, it makes you look at the sky instead of the leaves.

3. This picture shows another element of composition named texture, it uses shadows and the leaves to trick your eye into thinking that if you touch it it will have texture.

4. This picture shows another element, scale, this picture gives the illusion that there is a mountain is shrouding the sun, but it is actually just a small piece of snow.

5. This picture shows the element line, it creates an impact with it's horizontal and curving lines magnified by the angle angle of the camera.

PINHOLES!









Hello everyone, this post is about pinhole photography, a while back we went downtown to create a pinhole camera, take pictures, then develop them, we had a lot of fun and got a load of great pictures.

The basic works of a camera are the shutter, the photo paper, and the container. this is what makes pinhole cameras so flexible, you can build a pinhole camera out of almost anything.

I have a link to a pinhole Photographer, his site is: http://www.pinholephotography.org/
His name is justin, and his pinhole photographs are absolutely amazing, my favorite is the mouth pictures, check out his pictures in my link list named "Pinholers", and the link is named "Justin's site". Check it out!

linear perspective is horizontal lines on a piece of art or photograph to show depth, or to create illusion of depth. Aerial perspective is almost the same except it shows something disappearing in the background
