Patterns and Backgrounds

Carnival Ride

Pahrump Valley Harvest Festival 

I feel that this picture is a good description of a pattern because you can see all the crosses in the fairs wheel support beams

Dainty Cat

Pahrump, Nevada

This picture is a good picture of a good background. It is nice and clean and you can tell what this is supposed to be a picture of.

Could be about Glasses

Pahrump, Nevada

This is a picture of a bad background. This could be picture about glasses but you would never know because of all the stuff you see in the background.

Leading Lines, Balance, and Symmetry

The Lane

Pahrump Bowling Alley

I like this photo for demonstrating leading lines. You can see the lines that lead down the lane to the pins.

Front Engine

Pahrump, Nevada

I like this photo because I feel like it does a great job demonstrating symmetry. Both sides of the picture are equally divided down the center of the frame. Plus I love this picture because its my car :D 

Levels of Knowledge

Pahrump, Nevada

I feel like this photo is a great depiction of asymmetry.  Each book is a different thickness and height that could represent the amount of value each book has and how much knowledge you can get from each book.  

Color and Rules of Thirds

Clouded Sun

 Pahrump, Nevada

I feel like this photo is a great capture of  the clouds and the different shades of  grey in the clouds. I love the blue sky and how you can see the rays of the sun breaking through the clouds. This also captures the rule of thirds because the clouds takes up the top two thirds of the picture.

Orange Sunset

Pahrump, Nevada

I feel like this is a good demonstration of the rule of thirds. The sun falls right in the middle box of the thirds grid. 

The Grey Crescent 

Pahrump, Nevada LDS Church

I love the colors in this picture. I love the blue that fades in the mountains as the sun is rising. I like that the sky is a dark shade of blue and then there's the small white-grey slice that is the moon at this time of the month. 

What is an awesome photo?

I feel that this is an awesome photo because I just love the aged, vintage look. I feel like it perfectly describes what a typical wet, winter day in the desert looks like. This is probably one of my favorites that I have taken because I love seeing the clouds and each tree branch and the raindrops on my camera lens. I love this picture.
