The compositional elements and principals presented in this photo are repetition and color. The curly lines on the bottom of the image repeat throughout the bottom, and the three main colors, purple, pink, and orange are all blended together. Technically, I controlled the camera with shutter speed and ISO to create a successful shot. The 5 second long shutter speed and 100 ISO helped to show each individual light in the foreground of the picture and the blurred figures in the background. I think this is a strong photo and I selected it because I find that all the colors and lights in the image create a dreamy and positive mood.
The compositional elements and principals in this photo are positive and negative space, and point of view. The positive space is shown where the lights and wires are, and the negative space is shown around them, which is the table area that takes up most of the photo. The image is taken from an interesting point of view because the camera is looking down on the lights. The technical aspects in the image are contrast and aperture. The darker table and background with the white and colored wired lights creates a nice contrast. The aperture was lower, on about f/2.8 to create a shallow depth of field an for only the one light to be in focus. I chose this photo because of how the composition worked out with only the one light being in focus and the background being blurred.
The compositional elements an principals in this photo are point of view and repetition. The picture is taken from the point of view facing the action which allows for all of the action to be shown. There is repetition in the photo on the dice and balls with their patterns. The technical elements are shutter speed, and ISO. The shutter speed was on 1/800 of a second and the ISO was on 2000 which allows for the action of the photo to be frozen and non blurred. I chose this photo because of the contrast between the drops of water and the dark background with the frozen action of the objects being dropped in the water creates an interesting mood.
