I chose to capture my photographs in a natural environment. I took photographs of trees, natural vegetation, and also took advantage of the reflections that a pond has. Each picture is taken at a different perspective other than at eye level. Because the pictures are taken at a different view, objects are both close and far in perspective to where I was taking them from. When taking these photos, for example, in photo #3, the camera was held closer to the ground, giving that perspective and leading the eye to one point in the picture.
About half of my photographs are taken horizontal, and the rest are vertical. Photos 1 and 4 are horizontal for a more expanded view of the scene, and photos 2, 3, and 5 are vertical for a more focused view on the subject. Different shots call for a different views. I tried to capture the beauty in scenes, and also tried to incorporate the rule of thirds as well. I thought that photo 6 represented the rule of thirds very well, just like photo 4. There are very clear lines dividing these photos into thirds, whether it would be the negative space of the pond/sky incorporated into a third, or the object (tree), that actually divided the photo into thirds.
A dynamic photo consists of an object that helps the view navigate through the image to acknowledge the rest of the photograph. The most dynamic pictures I took would be 2,3, 5, and 6. In 2, the trail leads the eye into the negative space into the tunnel. In 3, the bridge clearly less the eye to the end of the bridge, and also to the trees in the background. In photo 5 and 6, the nature of the trees do a good job of leading your eyes up the trees, like the roots, that do a good job in guiding you through the image.
