1. The photo was taken using a relatively fast shutter speed because the trucks were probably moving (it would be an odd place to stop), and the photographer would not want to accidentally have a blurry person moving around in the picture.
2. The rule of using lines is demonstrated in the photo through the use of the lane lines on the road and the guard rails. These lines all converge (to a single point) and lead to the main focus of the picture, the fallen truck and the passing trucks. This is closely related to the element of art, line, but is different because it the element of art states that there is a usage of line, while the rule of composition of line says how it can be use to make the photograph more effective.
Another rule is rule of depth. "The rule of depth presents itself in this photo. The highway winds endlessly for as far as the eye can see" (Isaac Hong, 2015).
A third rule is: "This photo shows the rule of composition of balancing elements. The bright colors of the trucks really contrast with the clear gray sky. These balanced elements keeps the photo from not being too overpowering to look at" (Nicole Li, 2015).
3. One element of art in the photo (besides line) is space. The sky creates a nice "empty" space that serves as room for breathing. The space provides a way to prevent the photograph from looking cluttered, which is good because having a cluttered photograph detracts attention from the main focus.
4. A principle of design in this photo is emphasis. The bright coloration of the trucks emphasize the trucks. In addition, having the white rectangular block (the truck) in the picture is very bold and sticks out from the rest of the photograph.
