#7 – Orientation
Quote-Vertical objects appear heavier than horizontal objects. A diagonal orientation carries more visual weight than a horizontal or vertical one. Lines can be very powerful in your composition. Pay close attention to them.

Remember, you don’t have to balance colour with colour, or light with dark – you can mix and match your visual weights. For example, a counterweight to a large, bright area might be a small red object. Experiment with different kinds of balance and play around with visual weight. See what works best for your images and the story you want to tell.

As you go out exploring with your camera on your next photo shoot, keep balance in mind and the seven factors of visual weight. Look closely and try to determine which elements are commanding the most visual weight when you compose your photographs, and see how they affect balance in your images.

This challenge is probably my most difficult to achieve. Somehow, I guess I just don't get it. So as I'm trying to better understand, I've created this photo. I think it fits on several points.
#2. Size
Large elements appear heavier than small ones. Size is an evident visual weight factor because, in the physical world, an object that’s bigger than another will naturally be heavier, and will take up more physical space. Large elements command more attention. We naturally see them first, or spend more time looking.
4 – Texture
Texture adds visual weight to items in photographs. Texture is just more interesting and our eyes are drawn to it. Smooth areas will feel lighter than those with a lot of heavy texture.
6 – Quantity
A few small objects can balance out a single large object.
7 – Orientation
Vertical objects appear heavier than horizontal objects. A diagonal orientation carries more visual weight than a horizontal or vertical one.

If, I missed the concept, please feel free to say so. I'm really struggling with this.

1 – Color
Color has many properties that can affect an object’s visual weight relative to others in the photograph, such as saturation, brightness, darkness, and hue. Warm colors advance into the foreground and tend to weigh more than cool colors, which recede into the background. Red attracts attention better than any other color, and thus has the highest visual weight as opposed to yellow, which has the least visual weight. Also bright colors attract more attention than subdued colors.

And the Red is dominant over the darker Green. pg. 5

Pg. 13 - Lesley, I'm still struggling somewhat with what is considered
"Value," and "Isolation," but I do know this much:

These images have awesome Visual Appeal!

Thank you, Pat...and I agree.

The second one might be a little "over processed." LOL

Here's the original image I used to create those abstracts.

In keeping with this challenge, this "vertical" image carries
more weight, and the clear blue sky with the bright colors
of the parasail add weight as well. And then there's the
"leading line" or cable, that leads you to the subject,
my lovely wife.

Just one before I go to bed. "The easiest way to achieve [balance] is by using symmetry, as it guarantees left to right, or top to bottom balance. The results look formal, organized, and orderly." I usually avoid symmetry, but here's one from the collection. Taken at Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. Not a mirror, but I think there was a steel wall backing the little snacks kitchen.


Fantastic example of Symmetry..Pg. 8
