5 __** Amazing Photography **__



The shot is long, the photographer using the light perfectly, he use the sun rising up behind the tree, makes the tree stand up. I think this photo focus on green, it is beautiful, a good view to see, and the improtantces for protect green environment. = =



Almost everyone loves the beauty of the sea and pictures of waves are the most eye-catching and pleasing thing for everyone. Some photographers have attempted to capture the beauty as the waves roll and created these breath-taking wave images.The wave is perfect, water is really clear, you can see the bottom of the ocean, sky are blue, nice picture to see. The camera angles is medium shot. I like this photo because it is nature beauty.



This tree is after a snow storm blew through. Besides the cool curves of the branches, what I like about this is the way the puffs of snow look like the puffs of flowers the tree produces in the spring. Camera angles is close up, and looks really cool.



Blake Griffin NBA player, he attended 2011 Slam Dunk Contest, that's the dunk he done at the last round, which jump over a car and it made him become 2011 Dunk contest champion. The photo is focus on Blake Griffin's every move, how he start to jump, in the air at the ring. Camera angles is medium shot.  Waterfalls present themselves as a wonderful and challenging subject matter to photographers. Firstly they’re beautiful places, secondly they are often in tricky lighting situation and thirdly they’re a dynamic subject as they’re moving and of course movement means a challenge but also a real opportunity for a more dynamic shot. The photo is medium shot, light is bright, it makes the waterfall really clear and stand out.

__** Principles Of Design **__ Symmetrical Balances
 * Balance - Photos can be balanced by size, several similar objects, value and light.( light Dark) **
 * Three different balances **

Asymmetrical Balances

Radial Balance

Unity - Have similar objects, colour, light, shape etc. Contrast- The centre of attention, it focus mostly on an object or shape.

Repetition/Patern- The repetition of shapes or symbols to make the piece look more attractive. Proportion- Size of the elements. Variety- Elements in the photos, that catch the viewers attention.

<span style="color: #00ffff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 24px;">TYPES OF LIGHTING

**__Natural Light__** : It is the source of light that can be provided by the sun or natural reflection. It is usually ideal and <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">versatile. **__Artificial Light:__** It is the source of light that is generated by an external source of power. __**Side Lighting**__ :Light coming from the side. Allows contrast with the use of shadows to add depth. __**Back Lighting**__ : Light is directed behind your subject and glares at the camera. Allows sillhouttes and through the use of certain effects like fog, can add a dramatic effect. **__Hard Light__** : It is another source of artificial light that is characterized by its intensity. **__Soft Light__** Also known as diffused light, is source of artificial light that is evenly distributed <span style="color: #252525; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">throughout with low contrast. This is often achieved by bouncing light off another surface. __**Spotlight**__ :Focusing light on a specific point or subject in the picture.
