The rhythm echoes the sea that goes in and out with the tide.  The image complies with the rule of thirds in its composition. This image is unusual in it composition because the seascape is portrait rather then landscape and you can not see a horizon line. The seascape fills the farm. The viewpoint is looking downwards.   ]]> 2016-04-27 13:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/108010979 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/108011006 It is unusual because it doesn't comply to the rule of thirds. The sliver birch cuts the image in two, which creates an unusual affect. The black and white makes it dramatic  ]]> 2016-04-27 13:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/108011006 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/108031695 Another panoramic image taken with the same equipment is "Languid Melody". This image was taken in New Orleans' City Park, also for the Bayou Tree Service calendar project. The stand of old live oaks in this image is near the headwaters of Bayou Metairie, a small stream that was filled in as the city of New Orleans grew up around it. The headwaters nearby (off to the left and out of the frame) are today the lagoons of City Park, which are used recreationally by park visitors.The horizon line is low and the low branch creates an arch which draws and invites the viewer in to the frame. ]]> 2016-04-27 14:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/108031695 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/108036568 In this image you can see how it has leading line, drawing the viewers eye towards the vanishing point. Compositionally the image uses the rule of thirds with the lows third being the sea and the top two thirds. The formation of the clouds form two leading lines which lead to the vanishing point. The defused light in the centre is reflected in the sea. ]]> 2016-04-27 14:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/108036568 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110055794 The long shutter speed blurs the clouds and smooths the seascape. The solid pier structures in the foreground are cleat and bark and help th show depth in the photo by towards arching into the distance towards the light house on the horizon line. The composition follows the rule of three]]> 2016-05-10 10:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110055794 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110055797 This photo has a magical feeling. Mysterious fog fades out the horizon line. The photo is framed by the trees that gradually lead you in to the image. The background is light and foreground dark. The perspective adds to the mysterious feel to the image as does the shadows on the ground.]]> 2016-05-10 10:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110055797 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110055802 He wanted to show in This landscape that there is more than death to his photos. Although this is of a famous battlefield it is depicted as a calm place, simple horizon line across the centre with leading lines of the track leading to the vanishing point. It shows depth and history. The clouds are moody and show that there has been a storm in the past but it is now clearing. ]]> 2016-05-10 10:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110055802 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110311765 Vietnam 80 years old and is a photographer who photographs disasters. Many of his daly images are of Vietnam and war conflicts. 
He ofter likes black and white photos as they portray the cold and devastation of war. An atmosphere. He dislike the digital manipulations of modern photography.]]> 2016-05-11 12:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/110311765 mitchell_youngs https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/111206063 2016-05-17 10:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchell_youngs/ty8lxt3sig78/wish/111206063
