Photography with texture, symmetry, patterns, and in-depth of field


 Patterns: These photos that were taken exemplify patterns within everyday scenery. They have a repetition in each picture, whether it maybe lines, circles, or a certain texture.














In depth: These in-depth photos makes you look into a specific place in the photo; most likely the section of the object with the most clarity and small textures. And you can see this with both the photos of the leaves and flower. Your eyes first look at the section with the most clarity then the rest of the photo. And the photo with the flower had been in the shade but it does not have a purpose; it just happened to be in the photo.







Texture: The texture within these photos gives off a softness or even roughness look. In one, with the leaves, the thickness of the leaves gives this soft texture.






Symmetry: These photos demonstrate symmetry whether their locations happen to be outside or indoor.  In one of the photos, that happened to be on the concrete; its a bit slanted but that does not contribute to the photo but it was not on purpose. It just turned out that way.

Leading lines Photograph

The lines get my attention and I follow them with my eyes to another section of the picture. The crooked lines on the bottom of the image get my attention then my eyes makes its way up the image. It drags my attention up the photo.


The lines on top of the photo grab my attention and as the lines go down, my eyes follow its direction.

The parallel lines that are in this picture draws my attention to the bottom of the photo and I immediately look at the upper left section.

The first thing that catches my attention would be the upper right corner and it makes its way down to the bottom of the photo. The colors begin abstracting with one another to give of this serene green along the marble ground.

How to take digital pictures


Composition:
Using composition can show you lines that are naturally showing without special effects. These lines can give off certain feelings that are implied.  Also imbalanced or slanted shots can emphasize movement (change). But also curved or soft lines in a picture can imply a soft nature or serenity.  Coverage lines imply a scale or depth in pictures. And that can be used when using repetitive elements creating rhythm in a picture.


Light:
If you stand between your light source and your subjects because then details that the light projects will be lost. But it can create some interesting visual effects. Though taking shots on the side creates more interesting shapes and structures.  It is better to take side shots in the beginning or at the end of the day.


Colour:
Red colors will create a warmer feel to it rather than blue or green, so try to be creative with your colour shots. Also look for images that have contrasting colors like green and red or yellow and purple to create tension. Using same colours will also create harmony in the image.

 
Landscape:
Keep horizontal lines levels in your photography to achieve a great photo. Also never put the main subjects in the middle of your photo but don’t put the subjects in the extreme edges. Shoot at different angles of the camera but avoid empty space.




 
People:
When taking pictures its good to see soft light because it produces the best skin tones. And side photos give an in-depth picture of your subject.

 
Being Ready:
Take a lot of photos and move around as much as possible to give yourself plenty of shots. Be alert because a “one-in-a-lifetime” shot can appear.
