MultiCultural Week Story

The club by the Neuroscience club (which sold cajun fries) were providing free forks. 

I got a photo of Neuroscience Club's flyer right before their canopy tent flew away in the wind.

Political Science Club was offering to trade their curly fries (below) for cajun fries (above).

Story with a photo - Fries

So during Multicultural Week, I came across two very important concepts.
          1. By standing around the Neuroscience Club for a very long time (I didn't have money), it was possible for one to receive free Cajun Fries.
          2. Cajun Fries are pretty good!!

MSJMCW Story - Tickets

Tickets

People rush out classroom at the ringing of the bell, to crowd around ticket stations. The lines are long, and most people are unaware that the line in the middle of the horseshoe is actually the shortest. Some people receive their tickets during class due to preordering, and they walk around with their envelopes during lunch. They line up again near the end of lunch to refund unused tickets.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

Group: Isaac and Nicole and me (Val).

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.

My photograph:

Shutter speed: 1/400 

Principles of Design: Unity

Unity: a sense of coming together and fitting well. The flower print and the circles in the photo help to achieve unity in my picture.

Edits:

Saturation - 80

Red Saturation -100

Yellow Saturation -100

Blue Saturation + 30

Principles of Design: Proportion

No edits made.

Proportion: the balance of color, light, size of objects, etc is proportionate. Nothing is visually warped (unless that is the intended effect)

Principles of Design: Variety

Variety: Not everything is uniform. (shown by the size and shape of the water drops on the rose in my photo)

Edits:
Saturation -100
Curves thingy w/ the exposure:
          Whites + 10
          Blacks -30
