Shutter Speed and Everything After

Partnered with Jason Chang
1. The shutter speed is fast because the trucks on the right are moving and they are not blurred. The brake lights are not on. hinting that the trucks are moving. The caption says that the truck on the left was blown over by the wind. Therefore, we can assume that environment is very windy. The grass are not blurred, even though they should be flapping due to wind. This supports that assumption that the shutter speed is fast to capture all the motion in the picture.
2. This photo supports my rule of composition of depth because the objects in the photo are varying distances from each other. The layers created are by the blue-red truck, the flipped over truck, the green truck, and the mountains in the far background. Jason's rule of composition in this photo is leading lines because there are many lines, such as the rails, the street lines, and the straight edges of the trucks.
3. An element of art that is shown in this photo is space. There is open space between the subjects, which are the trucks. This space creates a depth of field because the trucks are different distances from each other.
4. A principle of design that is shown in this photo is proportion. Each truck looks to be a different size because of the varying distances they are from the camera. It looks like blue-red truck is larger than the flipped over truck, and the flipped over truck is larger than the green truck. The varying sizes of the trucks seem to work together in harmony. In reality, the trucks are probably about the same size. However, due to the proportion, the further trucks seem smaller than the larger trucks. The illusion created by proportion allows us to focus on the trucks and then on the surrounding area.
