Texture





Texture is always fun to explore with because objects we normally pass by can take on a completely different appearance. Although the textures in these photos is not prevalent you get a feel of gritty and graininess coming from them. The wood is what I was focusing on in these photos. In the third one you can see the wood along with the aged plastic tubing and their contrast.

Repetition



These 3 photos consist of repetition. I've always been fascinated by repetition because of it's hypnotic quality. Also the repetition can give the viewer a feeling of calm because it is so simple. The repetition for these photos are the birdcage itself and the birdhouse.

Depth



With these 3 images I was toying with the focus and trying to see what items in the photo would disappear. Each time I tweaked the focus just a bit and the final result is fun because we get an up close shot, a middle ground shot, and a shot of the background. Each photo is of the same exact thing but each one gets it's own feel to it.

Asymmetrical balance




For my first experimentation with the elements we learned in class was balance but I wanted to try asymmetry. A personal preference of mine when looking at any type of artwork is when the focus off-center. These 3 photos have more than one element used but the balance of the photo is to the right and that is where the eye is drawn to.
