Stone Fountain

 

This drinking fountain is located outside the Winona Visitor's Center off of Huff Street next to Lake Winona.

Green Fountain

 

This fountain is located next to the playground by Lake Winona. I do not know this little boy, but he happened to be playing at the park that day and his grandmother gave me permission to include him in my photos.

Lake Fountain

 

This fountain is located in Veteran's Park by Lake Winona right next to the bandshell.

School Fountain

 

This fountain is located on the third floor of Wabasha Hall on the Winona State Campus.

Church Fountain

 

This drinking fountain is located at Pleasant Valley Church in Winona. The hands belong to one of the girls in the Jr. High Youth Group that I volunteer with every week.

Rectangles

 

No Trespassing (2008) This picture was taken in Downtown St. Paul last weekend. I decided it is a perfect example of this element because of the continuous repetition of rectangles throughout the frame. Not only is the door and all of the windows rectangular, but so is the yellow 'no trespassing' sign, and all of the bricks that surround the door. I purposely cropped the frame to be an obvious rectangle as well just to play off of that theme.

Triangles

 

Looking Upward (2008) This picture was taken in the woods in my backyard last week. The three trees form three obvious points of a triangle, and as the eye follows them upward into the distance, the point get closer and closer to each other. The triangle isn't as obvious until you let your eyes do the work for you.

Focus

 

Focus on Beauty (2008) I took this picture last weekend of some flowers in my mother's garden. They were the only two of this particular type that were still alive and vibrant yellow. I decided to focus on the beauty in these flowers, while leaving the dead leaves in the back out of focus in order to really bring out its beauty.

Several Points

 

Freedom in the Air (2008) This picture was also taken last week at Veteran's Park here in Winona. I chose this photo to demonstrate 'several points' because the flags are the obvious subjects in the frame. They form a circle that causes your eye to move around them. I also like how the two memorials at the bottom kind of serve as a frame within a frame for the shot.

Single Point

 

Obstruction of Beauty (2008) I came across this cone laying in a fountain at a park near my house last week. I found it very odd that it was sitting in the water like it was, so I decided to use it as one of my photographic element demonstrations. This demonstrate a "single point" because the bright orange demands the eye to look at it first. It is clearly the subject of the picture, so I intentionally placed it outside of the center frame- using Rule of Thirds.
