Photography Project 2-Leading Lines and Balance & Symmetry


1. This photo is titled 'The Lone Rider'.
2. I took this photo in my backyard.
3. This photo demonstrates leading lines. The leading line in this photo is the fence. It directs the eye to the hat and jacket. I also applied what I learned about Depth of Field and lowered the f-stop to create a more shallow doF.


1. This photo is titled 'The Mist'.
2. I took this photo at Mesa Falls in Ashton, ID.
3. This photo demonstrates balance. This can be seen in the bush in the lower right corner and the rainbow and moss in the lower left corner.


1. This photo is titled 'Redemption'.
2. I took this photo in my backyard.
3. This photo demonstrates asymmetry. The willow tree is not symmetrical, and its asymmetry adds depth and movement to the photo.

Photography Project 1-Color and the Rule of Thirds



  1. This picture is titled "Through the Field".
  2. It was taken across the road from my house.
  3. This picture represents the Rule of Thirds. The ground and plants take up the two bottom thirds of the grid and the sky takes up the top third. The tree is at an intersection of the grid.






  1. This picture is titled "Walking the Dog".
  2. It was taken in the four-wheeler trail by my house.
  3. This picture demonstrates the contrast between cool and warm colors. The background of the picture is neutral browns and grays, providing contrast to my blue sleeve. This adds further contrast to the bright red leash. 







  1. This picture is titled "Abigail".
  2. It was taken on the fence in my backyard.
  3. This picture represents the Color and the Rule of Thirds. I have my sister off center with her eyes at an intersection of the grid. The color is seen in the 'split complementary' colors of blue and pink on her shirt. The colors in the picture are warm with the exception of the blue on the shirt and her eyes.
