Zane - Variety

Metadata: FL 39 mm, 1/320s, F/14.0, ISO 160, WB Auto. 

Zane - Texture

Metadata: ISO 160, -2 Flash, 1/60s, F/4.8, Vivid. Tig was a moving target.   The purpose of the image is to capture texture - both the fluffy fur, shiny eyes, and long whiskers.  His face is sidelit by the morning light.  The green of his eyes is repeated in the open grass space on the right.

Unity - Amy

The unity is obvious here, same colors of flowers arranged differently.  I really liked the room barrel in this photo as it gives information to the setting.  This was in an old 1940's barn.  f/5.6, 1/50, ISO 3200, AWB.

Zane - Unity

Focal length 71 mm, 1/800s, F/13.0, ISO 800, natural diffuse light.  This image was caught at the air show - band ensemble.  Elements contributing to unity are a common pattern - berets, shiny instruments, knees bent in unison, puffed up faces, one color of clothing, and meaningful facial expressions.  A blue sky with some clouds would have been appreciated. 

Variety - Amy

I choose this picture for variety because I saw the strong contrast between the flowers which are brighter in the photo and the bridesmaids who are more blurred out and darker.  I focused on the flowers on purpose because they were static though the girls add to the scene with their non posed conversation.f/5.6, 1/50, ISO 900, AWB

Balance - Symmetrical Balance

When I saw this scene I knew right away I could use it for balance.  Though it is an uneven exposure because my flash would not reach the entire room from as far back as I was.  f/11, 1/100, ISO 400, AWB

Texture - Amy

My husband and I DJ'd a wedding yesterday and the bride told me I could take all the pictures I wanted.  I thought this would be a good texture photo.  I choose a smaller shutter speed to capture the movement of the chocolate. The chocolate looks smooth and shiny,  I just want to put my hand in there and get a taste!  f/5, 1/40, ISO 3200, AWB

Zane - Circular Symmetry

Metadata:  Fill Flash, 25MM, 1/2000s, f/4.5, ISO 800.  Following the car show meetup, I gained insight on photographing mechanical objects.  This photo captures the lefthand cut-off of the engine's circular form (at an angle), the lateral lines of the propeller following the top-wing line, and implied symmetry of the propeller blades.  Cloudy, misty day with lots of diffused sky light from the top -  used the flash to catch the detail of mechanical parts.  Totally blew out the sky.   Broke the breathing room rule for left side framing.
