Carly Playing With Light

1. Sasha, her cat back home (not some random cat she creeped on lol), is playing with light in this photo. The contrast of her black body against the white sky almost create a silhouette because she is so dark. The shadows of the lines on the ground from the fence continue with the converging lines that are on the fence. The basket that Sasha is in have some curvilinear lines that are a nice contrast between the straight lines of the shadows.
2. Carly thought of a fairy tale when she saw this path way. She thought of a prince coming to save a princess from darkness and bring her up into the light. Compositionally, that aspect of dark to light helps balance the photo. The tree limbs up near the light add converging lines to the otherwise plain corner.
3. Carly is comparing her legitimate train from Canada in the motion and sequence assignment to the lame trains we have here in San Antonio. Despite the "lameness" of this train, you can see the shadow that it makes of the ground. The shadow even reflects all the frames within a frame that are present in the trains windows. You can also see how bright it was outside because of the converging lines that the sun creates throughout the right side of the picture.
4. In this picture, Carly saw the tranquility of the lake and captured it. She wanted to convey that everything is much more beautiful when we stay calm and remind ourselves of the beauty around us. The reflections are so defined in the lake, you could crop it and it could be a picture on it's own. I like the continuous converging lines from the ground on into the water with the reflections. On the right side of the photo, the shadows create a dark feel but as your eye travels to the left it gets lighter. In my opinion, Carly is representing her transition from the darkness of Canada into the lightness of America.
5. Carly wanted to capture the saying "light at the end of the tunnel" with this last photo. Compositionally, she uses lots of converging lines from the ones on the deck of the bridge to the ones on the side of the bridge to the ones in the trees behind. The shadows of the side of the bridge onto the deck add another layer of converging lines to this photo. It is also very well balanced with the sides of the bridge on the dividends for rule of thirds.
