Photo Examples

This is an example of leading lines. The lines going both ways really draws your eyes into the subject. This makes the picture really interesting and fun to look at. This is a really great example of using several different types of leading lines in the same picture.



This is an example of framing. Dale Benfield used the metal to naturally frame in on the couple and make the focus be on them. The trees also give a little bit of framing also since they are on opposite corners which just helps in drawing the eyes back into the couple.




This picture is an example of rule of thirds. The picture is pretty simple and with the rule of thirds, it really draws your attention to the couple kissing. It could have been a little better, but it is still a great example.

All three pictures were jpeg from the photographers facebook pages.

Design Examples

 The first example that I found is a really good example of closure. This shape is not complete, but when we as humans look at it our brains fill in the rest of the missing pieces. This is a 3-D shape, most would call a cube, but with the way closure is used here, we see it although it is still missing pieces.

This is a great photograph that I found that used leading lines to get its message across. The railroad tracks cause the eyes to follow them to the couple in the middle of the screen. The other parts of the background also use leading lines and it really ties together to make sure that your eyes are drawn in the right place. The photographer did a really good job at setting this photo up to capture the important part of the photo, the couple! This a an example of continuance.
