To learn to see the world in a different way;
To practice the compositional strategy: Leading lines.
I chose this photo because I really like the stars and the lights in the distance. The leading line starts in the bottom of the page and slowly disappears into the distance, which draws the focus onto the mountain range in the background. This photo is a good example of leading lines because the tracks in the snow effectively catch the eyes of the audience at the beginning of the page and guide them through the entire image, successfully highlighting each part of the photo. This photo makes me think about night time in Antarctica, because of how colorful and bright the stars were, and you can see how cold it was by focusing on the snow.
I chose this photo because I like how there is the road, which is the main leading line, and in the distance the trails on the mountain act as little leading lines. This photo is a great example of leading lines, because the road pulls the focus into the mountain, and then from there the trails on them mountain guide the focus to the dimming dusk sky. This photo makes me think about a postcard. When I think of this photo I could imagine the words like "Greetings from Maine!" wirtten aboce the mountain.
This photo is one of my favriotes taken because of how calm the previously thrashing trees were, the morning after a huge ice storm. its a good photo of leading lines because the tire marks in the snow pull the viewers gaze into the one bright green part in the very center of the photo, and then the lines of snow boarding the road come into view, and all of a sudden the viewrs gaze is opended to the enitire photo. When I think of this I think about how calm it is, but how the all the trees look dead, or kind of frozen in fear. I called it frozen nightmares, because to get a view like this these trees had to handle a pretty intense storm, and when they are forzen like this, its like a glimpse into the storm (Kind of like a eye of the storm thing).
