Shutter Speed and Everything After

My partner's name is Neha Abshar.

1. Fast, because that way you can capture more action.
2.  Leaving space-The photographer took the picture with the foggy cloud because you can see that it      is windy and what caused the accident. Neha-Composition of symmetry- it shows that the                    photographer parked his car in at the edge of the rail and took the pictures.
3. Element of art-Line- the photo shows line because of the road lines and the rail.
4. Principles of Design- Movement- you can visualize the truck getting knocked over and the two           trucks driving as you see this picture.

Documenting the Blues in the Mississippi Delta- Element Variety

We chose picture #2  because it shows a variety of principles or elements of designs and art we learned in class such as lines, shapes, form, space, and texture. The trunk of the tree shows lines and texture. You can see that there is a variety of things happening in the picture. You would first see the fishermen holding a net and your eyes will be diverted to the fish they are catching. The viewers eye then notices the trees and surroundings where the fishermen are at.
