Sunday Driving

 

This picture was taken on a drive on Olympus Dr. with a friend Sunday, January 15, 2017 at about 4:30 pm (The way this picture is angled makes it look like I was driving, but I wasn’t. I promise we were being safe.) This picture has layering. The foreground is the rearview mirror of the car, part of the dash board, and the dreamcatcher hanging in the window. The mid ground is the trees and road, and the mountains and sky make up the background. The dark of the mirror and the brightness of the sky provide contrast in this photo. There is also psychological closer because of the way the car mirror is cut off on the top of the image. It’s not super noticeable, but this picture was intentionally very slightly canted. There is some repetition in a couple areas of this picture. One is the lines on the road and the other is the repetition of trees in the mid ground. The rule of thirds was also used. The dream catcher and sun both fall on one of the vertical lines of the rule of thirds, and those are meant to be the main subjects of this photograph.
