In photo class we are studying the elements of design, , the elements of design are Shape, Line, Texture, Form, Color, and Pattern. Our assignment was to take three pictures representing one of the six elements of design.  My three shots include a little kids bike, windows, and a sculpture. 

My first picture is a picture of a little kids’ tricycle with bright green grass in the background. I took this picture on our field trip down the road one morning. I am using this picture to have the element of color.  The green in it bring out the life and the energy a little kid has, while the red brings out the little kids passion to play. I took this picture with a shutter speed of 1/60, and a f stop of 18 and my focal length was 145mm.  I chose such a big aperture so that I would have a long depth of field and everything would be in focus.

My second picture is a picture of an engraving outside of parliament. I took this picture with a shutter speed of 1/125 and a f stop of 5.6 and a focal length of 55mm. This picture represents texture. I feel that with the different depths of the engravings it really captures the rough texture of the stone. 

My third picture is of windows inside parliament. It represents pattern with the window designs being repeated over and over again. Lines also are a key part of this photograph. I took this picture with a shutter speed of 60 and an f stop of 5.6 and my focal length was 18mm.
