♦ 1 image that demonstrate an effective use of the rule of thirds

♦ 1 image that demonstrate an effective use of repetition

♦ Finding God Shot

♦ Contest Shot: "Books"

Leading Lines picture 1

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/15; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 400; Focal Length: 53.0mm

I really liked this shot I took of the bay near my house. The lines of the waves draw my eyes straight to the end of the land at the left of the picture. The sepia tone really shows the contrasting shadows and colors of the leaves, the waves, and the mountains in the back.

Rule of Thirds picture 3

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/13; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 400; Focal Length: 55.0mm

The sun was setting overtop of the clouds as I captured this shot. I loved the American flag with the two beach chairs with the palm trees in the right of the shot. The breaking waves added a soothing effect and I love the rocks how they create an island feel.

Repetition picture 1

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/60; Aperture: f/4.5; ISO: 400; Focal Length: 34.0mm

In this shot, my eyes were drawn to the repeating palm trees and the symmetry between them all. I liked also the line they created as they stood there. The black and white effect created the mood I was going for.

Finding God Shot picture 2

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/60; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 400; Focal Length: 48.0mm

What drew you to this scene: I was shooting in my backyard when I saw these flowers that basically "shoot" their petals in a curved motion. I got in close to the flower and shot the center with the petals reaching out past the shot.

What aspect of God’s character does this photo reveal to you: God's amazing design capability was revealed to me through the intricacy of the flower and each color that was used in the flower.

Contest Shot: Books picture 1

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/60; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 400; Focal Length: 47.0mm

In my contest shot, I was assigned to show my interpretation of books. I immediately thought of the manuscript process and the actual writing of the book. So i threw some paper and pens together to create a writing scene. Though you can't tell because of the film grain effect, there is a red pen (for editing), a regular pen (for writing), and a highlighter (to highlight :D ). The film grain effect hopefully makes it look a little older.

That's it for this week. Hope you guys like them :) looking forward to your comments
