Contrasting Forms

The concept of contrasting forms is to get a picture where an object or subject is the foreground of a picture and an object or subject is the background of a picture. This balances the picture out. The first picture of the powerline pole applies to this concept because the powerline pole is the foreground of the picture and the parking meter is the background of the picture. The car behind the parking meter is also a great background to the picture. The second picture of the powerline pole applies to this concept because the powerline pole is the foreground of the picture and the recycling bin is the background of the picture. You could also say that Alastair, Julian and Zaina make a great background for this picture as well. The third picture of the parking meter applies to this concept because the parking meter is the foreground of the picture and the green truck is the background of the picture.

Repetition/Perspective

The concept of repetition/perspective pictures is to get a good shot of objects in a repetative form such as piano keys and telephone poles. The first picture of the windows applies to this concept because the windows are repetative. The second picture of the trees applies to this concept because the trees are repetative. The third picture of the muni power line poles applies to this concept because they are repetative as well. The picture of the trees is my personal favorite because I believe that it shows the greatest repetition out of the other pictures.

Leading Lines

The concept of leading lines is to get a picture of a road, pathway or a line itself and balance it out with the background. The first picture of the alleyway applies to this concept because the pathway is the leading line and the end of the alleyway is the background. The second picture of the sidewalk applies to this concept because the sidewalk is the leading line and the sky is the background. The third picture of the sidewalk by Drew applies to this concept because the sidewalk is the leading line and the traffic lights ahead are the background.

The concept of contrasting forms is to get a picture where your object or subject is the foreground of the picture and where another object or subject is the background of the picture so it balances the picture out. The first picture of the man at the restaurant applies to this concept because he's the foreground of the picture and the table behind him is the background. The second picture of the statues applies to this concept because one of the statues is the foreground and the other statue is the background. The third picture of the car applies to this concept because the car is the foreground of the picture and the minature car next to it is the background. The fourth picture of the two men applies to this concept because one man is the foreground and the other man is the background.

The concept of Repetition/Perspective pictures is to get a good shot of objects in a repetative form such as piano keys and telephone poles. The first picture of the wedding applies to this concept because the chairs are all repetative. You could also view this as a leading line but I see it more as a Repetition/Perspective. The second picture of the windows applies to this concept because the windows are all repetative as well. The third picture of the boats applies to this concept because they're also repetative. The fourth picture of the stair railing definetely applies to this concept because the railing poles are repetative as they go up.

The concept of leading lines is to get a picture of a road, pathway or a line itself and balance it out with the background. The first picture of the hallway applies to this concept because the floor is the leading line and it balances itself out with the door. I also enjoy the glass that surrounds it. The second picture of the road applies to this concept because the road itself and the line on it are the leading lines and they balance themselves out with the forest. The third picture of the man walking down the beach with his dog applies to this concept because the lines on the beach are the leading lines and they balance themselves out with the ocean and the sky. This picture is my personal favorite because of the scenery. The fourth picture of the outdoor pathway applies to this concept because both the pathway itself and the lines on it are the leading lines and they balance themselves out with the ocean and sky.
