Principles and Elements of Design 
Principles: 

  1. Balance--When the photo has a balanced composition or subject

  2. Pattern--When there is a repeating scheme in the photo
  3. Rhythm--Similar to pattern but has a sort of melody in the photograph 
  4. Contrast--Having bright and vibrate differences in the frame that brighten up everything  

  5. Unity--When the whole image comes together in a harmonious way         

  6. Emphasis--Singling out a single subject and making that the focus of the image
  7. Movement
--When it is very clear that the subjects in the photo where in movement when the photo was captured
Elements: 

  1. Line
--Drawing the viewers direction to the main focus through lines in the frame
  2. Shape
--Having a very symmetrical composition
  3. Form
--Having the subject in a certain position or setup to portray a message
  4. (Color)--Similar to contrast, but having bright colors to make the image pop
  5. Space
--Keeping an open section of the composition and leaving room for mystery
  6. Texture
--Using a rough surface so that the image has a sense of the third dimension 
  7. Value

--Having a purpose or reason for the image

Goals for Photo 5-6

In your first blog entry, write about what you want to accomplish in Photo 5-6. Include at least one of your best works from Photo 3-4. Also write about the camera you are using and anything new you learned about it. 

In Photo 5-6 i hope to be able to explore the more abstract aspect of photography. Since whenever I paint or do any other sort of art i prefer the random pieces. So i am excited to try it outmode this year. The piece I have attached is of a sedona mountain that i have changed to give it a more unreal look. I took this using my T3 and with that i can do HDR as i did to this photo.
