Repetition and Rhythm

Repetition in photography is one of the greatest tools used to make a picture look amazing, and truly makes it worth a thousand words.


In example of repetition and rhythm, There are two pictures below that show both repitition very strongly.


In the first photo, a large military group sits in a rectangular formation, and the photographer angled the picture at one corner of the group, almost straight across to the opposite corner, giving it a slight diamond-shapped appearance. The angle of the photo and the number of people in matching uniforms makes it a very interesting and eye-catching picture, as well as one with a great representation of repetition.


In the second photo, there is a picture of a large group of tiles, reflecting blue, red, black, and white. Though the image in the different tiles vary due to the shape of the tiles, the repeating tiles heading into the distance as well as the complimentary colours and proffessional angle of the picture make this yet another eye-catching photograph, and another great representation of repetition.

Humor in Photography

Humor is used in photos almost all the time. Humor in photography is also used in many different ways.
In example of two types of humor, 'snickering' humor and 'dirty humor.'
In both of these pictures, the theme is that of a dog either on a pillow with people using them, or with dogs trick or treating.

In the first photo, the two people took a pillow and placed it in front of their faces. When somebody else told them that the pillows were in line with their shoulders, the photographer took the photo.
This photo has much humor in it, because the photo gives the impression that the two humans actually have a dog's head.

In the second photo, the one with the five dogs trick or treating, catches your eye, and forces you to look carefully at it. These dogs must have been either very well trained, or very patient...because the dogs seem to be very calm and natural looking. Like they have done it hundreds of times.
This photo has humor in it, because on Halloween you would expect to see children dressed as dogs and ghosts, not dogs dressed as ghosts.

For my Chess Piece assignment I will talk about the movement in this piece. To begin, the chess piece seems to be almost invisible. The parts that seem to catch your eyes, and move them around the page, would be the wave to the right of the chess piece, and possibly the zig-zags behind it.  The three shaded circles that are near the bottom left of the picture, create movement because of the three different shading styles. (Light, medium, and dark.)

The chess piece also leans to the right of the paper very slightly.

If you look at the actual outline on the chess piece, you will find you may not be able to see it well. That is because the darkness of the lines  behind and around the chess piece take away from the outline of it, and leaves a faint line and shadow.
