Rainy Days

 Oh, how I love rainy days!

(check photo captions for what element of composition they are....)

element of composition: symmetry

 It is pretty much the only time the weather cools down. And I get to wear rain boots :)

And take photos of wet things.

element of composition: depth of field, possibly lines

Wheeee! I love the above photo!!!

elements of composition: n/a (tsk tsk.... it's not a great photo)

 *sigh*

element of composition: depth of field,

 Yes, dear readers, that IS a rain drop on my camera lens. Two drops to be exact. I didn't mean to get them on there. I cleaned the lens very carefully afterward. But I love the photo :D

element of composition: simple backgrounds (?)

And our cute kitty had her tail curled around her paw. Aw. Was she cold, or was she scared of my camera? 

Does anyone else love rainy days?

Elements of Composition #7

Today's element of composition is  

Lines

using horizontals, verticals or diagonals to emphasize your subject

Well, I don't have a perfect example to share with you today, but this photo will work with a bit of explaining. 

I was photographing this bridge. (Yes, that is a bridge, and I walked over it!) See those lovely lines that the boards make? If I had moved my camera up a bit and focused on the PEOPLE instead of the BRIDGE, the lines would have emphasized the people beautifully. The photo is still nice, the composition isn't quite right to call it a lines example.

Only 2 days of this series left...hang in there! Tomorrow is Use of White Space :)
