#4 Texture

Quote - 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.

Thinking it would be good if everyone could label each entry photo with the corresponding tip-as above-

Texture -then the photo that shows which tip you are interpreting..does that make sense?

Some aspects are new to me also, such as color having weight.

#3 is Value

Quote - Value is a powerful tool for balancing images. Dark elements feel heavier than light items. The higher the value-contrast (between object and background), the heavier will be the weight of the object.


Your examples help get the concepts across.

How come you have a left sandal and a right foot? A kind of visual balance I s'pose


I told you I had trouble with balance. Maybe because I have two right feet and only left sandals...

Looks good to me! Like your explanations with the examples....Helps us to see concept!

The dark background balances the size of the tree and also seems to bring attention to the tree's form and

branches...

The solitude of the Church as seen from the top of a steep hill, once down below the Church is no longer visible.

Then the blue, but the stump tells quite a story!
