Unusual Perspectives


The intricately carved metal,
Swirls around my temples in a smooth motion.
Resting gently around my face,
I feel the subtle beauty.

Before taking this photograph, I was sitting at my counter absentmindedly staring at these glasses. Then I realized that it would make a fabulous picture! Because I was in my kitchen, I could hear and smell dinner being prepared by my mom (you can't actually see her in the picture). Obviously I saw and felt the camera, but I also saw the glasses and what a great photo they would make! I really like the way that this picture turned out!

Composition- Rule of Thirds


This photo uses the compositional strategy "Rule of Thirds". As you can see, the glass is not all the way into the picture, and is not in the center either. It's off the page a bit, and I think that that makes the image really interesting. I also really like the shininess of the glass and how it reflects onto the table, so perhaps in a way, this photo also shows "Reflection"? It's mainly just the thirds though. Overall, I really like how this picture turned out. I think it's really cool!

Shapes, Organic and Geometric


I think that these two images show shapes more than any of my other photographs. I took these pictures because I saw the squares and triangles and thought they looked really interesting! The way that I took the photo of the waffles was just zooming in very close and angling my camera. I suppose it would be showing the rule Unusual Perspective. I took the picture of the flower by also zooming in. I really like both of these pictures because of the shapes and angles.
