the girls face. This portrait has a more solomn approach. The picture has neutral colors which add to the
seriousness of it.

photography. Date 2012. The picture portrays mystery and a sense of unknowing.
The angle of the faces makes it look like one distorted face but when you look closer
you see that they are two faces aligned that way. The color and costume give the
overall picture a 20TH century theme.

features.

Explosions. Date: November 15, 2012. This photo was taken on a pier in Portugal at
a sunset. The bright color expresses the beauty and peacefulness of nature in this
landscape photo. It reflects off of the water below adding more detail and dimension
to the piece.

Photographer: Tom, NC Photography. Title: The


Symphony of Northern Lights, 2012. This photo shows the Northern Lights clearly in
either the Spring or Fall for those are the best times for seeing the lights. It is a
landscape picture because it is of land and a phenomenon which occurs in the
north. The picture shows off the vibrancy, and bright colors of the Northern Lights,
this contrasts against the darker shades of the sky and mountains.

Title: Young Girls on a Tricycle. (Date and Photographer


not found). This photo is of a girl on a tricycle. It is a good example of vernacular
photography because it looks like an amateur picture and it seems to have been
taken on a regular day.

We could not find the Photographer, Title, and date


because it probably was not taken for any certain reason and if the date is on the
picture, it was not recorded. This photo was probably taken by an amateur
photographer because it does not appear to be overly professional. A family portrait
is a good example of vernacular photography because most of the time they are not
professional photos.

Action: a still photograph that shows a subject or object in motion.

Photographer: Desmond Downs. Title: Stop Motion


Photography. Date: 2010. This is a photo of a shattering light bulb. This is an action
photo because it is an object in motion as it shatters. The use of a flash instead of
high shutter speed catches the detail of the break as it happens

.
Drop.

Photographer: James Neeley. Date: 2008. Title: Lemon

The shot pictured above is of the exact moment when a lemon was dropped into
water. The colors are enhanced using flash. The vibrant yellow contrasts greatly
against the cool colors of the water and the black background.
Architectural: photographs of buildings and similar structures that are both
aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subject.

Photographer: Michael Small Date: 2009 Title: none.


This is an architectural photograph. A building with an innovative and aesthetically
interesting walkway. It was taken at a good angle which captured the natural
lighting, also the refracting light from the outside wall of the building.

Photographer: Telmo32. Title: Well. Date: 2008.


This is another architectural photo. The fact that the staircase goes down creates
different levels and a sort of dimension to the piece. The darkness on the lowest
level, furthest away from the photographer, gives a sense of mystery and unknown
to the audience.
Event: Photographs taken at a specific event either for media purposes or personal
to you or the subject.

Photographer: Lee Glasgow. Title: Wedding. Date:


2015
Weddings are good examples of event photography because they are events in
which wanting documented memories are a common feeling. The edges of the
photo are blurred to increase focus on the married couple.

Photographer: Kate Belim & Happy Holi Festival.


Date: July. 3, 2013. Title: Life Full-Color. This photo showcases a festival in India in
which everyone douses themselves and those around them in a wide range of
beautiful colors. The spirit of the day is to celebrate the start of spring. It used to
represent a good harvest and fertile land but the meaning has slightly changed.
Macro: photography producing photographs of small items larger than life size.

Photographer: Stuart Williams. Title: rose leaf.


Date: 2008.
This is a macro photo of a leaf with drops of water on it. Its color scheme is a good
contrast between the green and red. It is a good macro because the details of the
leaf and water drops are much more vivid than they would be with a normal picture.

Photographer: Warton. Title: macro. Date: not


found.
This is a macro of a flower. It is a good example because it shows details that
couldnt be seen in just a picture you took with your phone. The color shown makes
the picture much brighter emphasizing the the lighter colors, making the picture
much more noticable.
