Part One
In the Field by Kostya Jonaitis; Texture
In this photo, Jonaitis uses black and white film to convey a very dark, eerie feeling. The woman is dressed in casual clothing and doesn't look too happy. The hay is a very important aspect of the photo, because without it, the photo would be bland. The blades of grass she is sitting on and the texture of the hay bale give contrast to the cloudy sky.
Ashley Bryant; Linear
I love this photo so much, because it is taken by the camera I use, a Pentax k1000! It also looks amazing. We don't do color film at Lincoln, but this photo makes me wish we did. The clouds almost look like they have pink accents, but gives off a cotton candy feel. The rocks have so much dimension to them, they aren't just rocks. In this photo, they could have cut it off at the top of the highest rock to only show the trees, however, the rocks give it more. The trees show the linear aspect of the photo.
Sunrise, Lanikai Beach, Oahu, Hawaii by Luiscarloceferino; Value
I'm not going to say I love this photo, because I don't. I do, however, like the value in the techniques used in this photo. The camera is focused on the horizon and the waves near the bottom of the photo are sort of wispy due to a longer exposure. It reminded me of Mrs. Abens analogy of taking pictures during a hurricane. If you want to focus on a rock, you would want a longer exposure, and everything around the rock would be blurred. However, if you wanted to focus on a palm tree, you would want a shorter exposure.
Thea Bosso; Space
When I see this photo the only word that comes to mind is lovely. This is because, in my opinion, the photographer did everything right in this photo. The focus on the subject is perfect. The use of the space around the photo as well, is pretty great. If this photo had been cropped any different than it is already, I'm not sure how satisfying I would find it.
Laundrette by Huda Al; Shape
In this photo you can identify certain shapes very easily. There are a few circles, some rectangles and squares. Those shapes are a very important aspect of this photo. This photo is taken out of a very interesting series, all of which have geometric properties.
Part Two
26 Disposable Cameras Shoot by Less-Privileged Girls.
For this part, I chose to use one series of work to show rule of thirds, bug's eye view and bird's eye view.
Bug's Eye View
This is a bug’s eye view of looking at a small flock of birds flying past. The clouds in the background of this photo have a dark hue to them, revealing a not-so happy mood in the photo.
Bird's Eye View
This photo is obviously taken by someone who is taller than this small child. Knowing the background of the photo, it definitely gives me, personally, a sad vibe. The women who took these photos were not as privileged as most people I know, so, in looking at this photo you can see the depressing atmosphere.
Rule of Thirds
This photo is lovely. Right off the bat I saw rule of thirds. 1/3 is the stone wall in the back, 2/3 is the boy and his sheep, and 3/3 are the sheets hanging on the clothing line. This photo give off a happy carefree vibe. The boy in the photo is clearly smiling, I can't help but wonder what he is doing with the sheep though.
Mark Hillyer; Leading Lines
This photo is very satisfying to me. The lines are very symmetric and look very pleasing. The colors remind me of an eerie hotel hallway.
Sarah Bucher ; Close up
This closeup is pretty. The colors are very deep and rich, giving off a peaceful vibe.

Griffin Simm; Frame Within a Frame
This photo shows a relatively young boy in the frame of a door. Every photo has a story, and the story of this one looks insanely intense. The black and white makes the photo more meaningful.
Ferdie Agara; Diagonals
Lights in photos are one of my favorite things to photograph. In this case, the lights are diagonal and give me an eerie feeling. The red at the end looks like an exit sign and the lights on either side are to illuminate the hall. It almost looks as if the person who took the photo was running towards the exit [red light].
Emma Perry; Filling the frame
This photo is an extreme close up of a leaf, I think. That's what I enjoy about filling the frame, you don't always know what the object it. It gives a little mystery to the picture.
