Story- Spiritual Sea



I was standing at the ethereal southern tip of India, staring out into the far distance; what is on this earth but oblivion? I lost all sense of consciousness, and I felt dizzied, at the vastness of mother nature. I stared at the ravaging waves and thought about mother natures ability to kill and nurture, all at the same time.

MJSMCW STORY

I stood in line
For the tickets I had to pay a fine.
Blue stubs and more blue, pink stubs and more pink
More stubs came into my hand as I felt my wallet sink.

I walked into the academic jungle that was the horseshoe,
as i contemplated what to do.
Which line to stand in, where to eat
I was occupied with the thought of eating a treat.

Students chattered,
Clubs became flattered,
Tickets sold left right and center.

Food was running out,
students ran about, 
wondering where to enter.

At last it was finished,
the bell had rung,
and almost everyone had gone back to class.

But the clubs remained,
Closing up shop,
counting their money's mass.

Principles of Design- Proportion



 This picture shows proportion, because the cart, the trees, and the hedges are positioned aptly so that the cart is centered proportionately in the picture.

Saturation-20

Principles of Design- Emphasis



    This picture gives a sense of emphasis, because the picture is focused on the sea, but the clouds and rocks surround the sea, creating a slight distraction.

Principles of Design- Unity


The wood boards of the ceiling come together to create a pyramidal shape, giving a sense of unity.

Shutter Speed and Things

Partner: Tulika Mohanti
Her blog: http://tulika-mohanti.blogspot.com/

1. This photo was taken with a fast shutter speed. As the truck is in a constant state of motion, as is the green one in front of it, it is only convenient that a fast shutter speed be used to capture the truck in motion.

2. One of my rules of composition is lines and shadow. The rule of lines and shadow is artfully sown in this photo, as the white lane dividers extend into the distance, and the road divider exhibit a horizontal line pattern. Tulika's rule of composition is the rule of depth. The rule of depth is aptly depicted in the picture, with the help of perceived distance.

3. An element of art that is used in the photo is the use of colour. In a mixture of bleak brown and charcoal, the vibrant blue and red colors of the trucks stand out.

4. A principle of design that is used in the photo is proportion. The trucks that are on the road have been proportionally positioned to depict depth and distance.



Shutter Speed: 1/70
I do not know the actual shutter speed. This is guess.
