The Photo

(Neha Kumar - partner)

1. The picture was taken with moderately fast shutter speed. Highways with little traffic often consist of very fast moving vehicles. Of course, we can imagine that in the current wind and weather conditions, the trucks may be slowing down on the right, all the while observing the flipped truck on the opposite road. The fast shutter speed allows the moving trucks to appear sharp.
2. My rule of composition shown in this photo is the depth. The guard rails with roads on both sides meet at a small point in the horizon, thinning down the line. This shows a sense of depth.
3. The element of art I see in this photo is lines. The road and its lanes as well as the guardrail in the center between the roads is a continuous line that visually stretches for miles.
4. The principle of design I can explain in this photo is pattern. The guard rail has a repeating rung-like pattern unit that repeats itself down the horizon. The repeating unit describes a pattern. Also, the fallen truck has striped blue and white lines that show pattern.



The shutter speed is 1/100
