Elements of Photography

By: Mallory Hamilton

PerspectiveI think this photo is an example of perspective because the person who took this photo must have been at the same level or lower then the chair to add effect and show the building in the background.

PerspectiveI think this photo is a good example of perspective because the photographer purposely got down into a position that would give this photo this angle. This photo could’ve been taken at a straight-on level picture but the angle changes a lot in this picture.

Depth of FieldI think this is a good example of depth of field because the subject of the photo, the frame with 2003 in it, is very sharp and clear in the photo. The background is very blurry compared to the subject.

Rule of ThirdsThis is a good example of rule of thirds because if you split the picture into thirds (vertically) that the line coming up from the ship would be almost exactly on the left third line.

Rule of ThirdsI think this photo is a good example of rule of thirds because the buildings are on the left side and the buildings that are not as tall are in the bottom left quadrant of the picture once you drew the rule of thirds lines.

Line (Leading Lines) This is a good example of line (or leading line) because the lines from the walls and ceiling draw your attention to the blue(ish) color a the end of the hallway.

Line (Leading Line)This picture is a good example of line (or leading line) because the pillars that hold up the boardwalk lead your eyes up to the line of the boardwalk. The line of the boardwalk leads your eyes to the horizon, where the horizon line brings you to the sunset.
