Image	E/P of Design	Rational
	Framing	The fence frames it so you only see that one part through the hole.
	Pattern/Repetition	The same thing is being repeated all the way around.
	Bird’s Eye View	It is taken from above which is where a bird would be.
	Rule of Thirds	A third of the picture is different.
	Symmetrical Balance	The sides balance each other.
	Vertical Lines	runs north to south
	Unity	Go together harmoniously.
	Horizon Line	The picture has a horizontal view.
	Leading Lines	The lines lead to the point.
	Horizontal Lines	The things are horizontal, runs east to west.
	Diagonal Lines	She is moving, sliding down the slide.
	Proportion/Scale	The people appear to be smaller than they actually are.
	Texture	You can see the texture of the rope in the picture, the feel of it.
	Curved Lines	The steps are curved.
	Movement/ Rhythm
	Worm’s Eye View	It is taken from below where a worm would be, opposite of bird's eye view.
	Emphasis	Everything is black and white except for the plant so the focus is on it.
	Variety	It has things of different sizes, shapes, and colors.
	Simplicity There is little going on in the picture. It is simple.

Composition Questions

1. What is composition?
2. Why is it important to understand & utilize composition in photography?
3. Describe aspects of a “snapshot”.
4. Describe aspects of a “photograph”.
5. “Photography is the art of ________________________” 
6. Describe what interests you the most about this art form or what drew you to this form of communication.

1. Composition is the arrangement of visual elements within the frame of a photograph.
2. It is important to understand and utilize composition because you can combine different elements to achieve a specific effect and the elements need to work together for a better photograph.
3. A snapshot is a casual record of some person, event, or object, and the main importance of it is the memory and not the actual picture.
4. A photograph is an artistic interpretation of a person, object, or event and should not just show the subject, but it should describe the subject. A photograph requires more attention to detail and the composition is more important than the subject.
5. "Photography is the art of discovery."
6. Photography has always interested me because it captures beauty and memories in an artistic way.

Understanding White Balance

White balance helps get the colors in the image as accurate as the eye can see them. It is the color balance on the camera. A proper white balance will prevent things from appearing orange, blue, etc. in different types of lighting. White balance has to take into account the color temperature (the warmth or coolness or the light).
