Worm's Eye- A view as seen from below. It is a picture that you are looking up at something. (almost like you are as small as a worm)
Vertical Lines- Lines that make your eyes move up and down. The walls draw your eyes to them because they make you look up and down at them.
Variety- Various items in a photograph to make it dynamic. Variety is used to make the picture more interesting. The different cookies make it more fascinating rather than all of them being exactly the same.
Unity- Things in a picture that tie it together. A lot of flowers are put together to make one bouquet, The flowers are unified because there are so many of them that are exactly the same being next to each other.
Texture- This element makes you feel the picture. This picture can almost make you feel the dry, choppy texture of this surface.
Asymmetrical Balance- Two objects that are not the same but balance each other out. The mugs are at different heights, but they still balance each other out because they are on opposite sides of the photo.
Bird's eye view- You have the point of view in which you are looking down on something. In this picture, you are looking down at this river. (almost as if you were a bird looking down at the land)
Curved Lines- Lines that make your eyes go in curvy movements. These steps make your eyes move in curves instead of just up and down and side to side.
Diagonal Lines- These lines make your eyes move diagonally. The bar makes your eyes follow it and draw your attention from one side of the photo to the other side.
Emphasis- Focusing on one subject in the photo by making it stand out from everything else in the photo. This fish is EMPHASIZED by making it a bright yellow compared to the dull grey background.
Framing- Something that frames an object in a picture. The house frames the trees in the background to make you really focus on what is being framed.
Horizon Line- A line perpendicularly to the ground outwardly from one's eye level. In this picture, the end of the grass and the beginning of the clouds is the horizon line.
Horizontal Lines- Lines that make your eyes move side to side. In this picture, the bench makes your eyes move side to side like they way the dog is looking.
Leading Lines- Lines that draw your eyes to move at one point in the picture. In this picture, the trees make you look the the middle of the sky because their lines draw you to look there.
Movement and Rhythm- The subject in the picture is doing an action that shows an action that is being preformed. The bird's wings in this picture make us visualize how fact they must be moving when it's flying. The bird shows movement.
Proportion and Scale- Comparing something to something else in size; it can be unrealistic sometimes. Because everyone knows the size of a tiny pin, This picture makes you think that all of the trees and people have shrunk because of the known size of the pin.
Repetition- Something shows up many times in a picture. The circles are repeated through the whole picture a lot.
Rule of Thirds- The rule of thirds involves dividing up your image using 2 horizontal lines and 2 vertical lines. As seen above, the chair is the focal point and is placed on one of the points where the horizontal and vertical lines meet.
Simplicity- A photograph that is well developed and gets the point across in a simple and clean format. This water droplet on the leaf is very simple and gets the point across to one by making you feel relaxed because of the softness and simplicity in the picture.
Symmetrical Balance- Each side of the picture is balanced out with the exact same subject. The two fences are identical and so are the trees. They are on opposite sides and practically mirror each other.
