ZOOOOOOOOO - my choice 1

I took this picture of a hamster at the sf zoo in the children zoo section at around 12:00. I took this picture by kneeling down and zooming in on the hamster. I took this picture because I thought it was very cute! This picture shows assymetry because he lies on a third line. It also shows emphasis because he is the only thing in the photo and is also in the center.

ZOOOOOOOOO - formal

I took this picture of a lion in his habitat at the sf zoo at around 11:30am. I took this photo by zooming in the window so as to not get so many objects in the shot. I took this picture because he was just looking right at me.....so I mostly got him in the shot. This shows emphasis because the lion is the largest thing in the photo. This also shows color because of the green and the brown.

ZOOOOOOOOO - environmental

I took this picture of a monkey sitting on a branch at around 11:00am at the sf zoo. I took this picture by zooming in and using the vivid green mode on my camera so that the leaves would be as detailed as possible. It took me a while to take this picture because he kept looking away. I had to be patient and sneeky! I just about gave up after a while because he wouldn't look at me, so I turned back......and OUT OF NO WHERE.....he looked frontward.....so i turned around and got that shot! This shows emphasis on the monkey because he is directly in the middle. It also shows color because of the green trees and leaves.

grand landscape showing layers

I took this picture at mission dolores park in mission district at sunset. I took this photo by taking individual parts of the park and putting it together on photoshop. I then changed the value of each layer therby enabling the eye to see each individual layer. I took it of this park to show grand landscape. This photo shows color because of the green, white, and blue. It also shows space because the green is positive and in focus while the white and blue is negative and blurred.

Stella

I took this picture of a dog named "Stella." I took it by the Mercy pool at around 7:30. I took it by getting very close to stella and not using a flash because I did not want to scare Stella. We were assigned to take a picture of a pet, but since I did not own a pet, I took it of a dog whose owner works for Mercy. This picture has emphasis because Stella is in the middle. It also has line by the way that Stella's eyes lead to the beginning of the pool.

vertical landscape photography

I took this picture of a tree located at the back of the mercy wing at around 7:30am. I took it by dividing the tree into three parts. The first part was the bottom of the tree, the second was the middle, and the third was the top. I used the color vivid mode so that it would retain the colors of the tree to the hightest value. I took a picture of this tree because it is full of life and color. This picture has color becuase the tree is pink. This photo also has vertical line because the bottom of the tree leads the eye to the top.

Water

I took this picture of a fountain at the SF Zoo at noon time. I took this by using a slow shutter so that it was blurred. I also put the priority mode on "cloudy day." I took this picture because I liked this fountain a lot. It was very pretty. Once taking it, I realized it was nicer than my other water photos. The fountain is emphasized by its large size and the fact that it is placed in the middle. Balance is also in this image by the way that the trees cover the top and the water covers the bottom.
