This photo was taken in College Park, MD during the summer of 2010. The horizon was set on the bottom third of the photograph. The church and sunrise served as the points of interest and were centered on the right third of the photo. Gimp, a photo editing program, was used to enhance the colors and give contrast to the photo. This creates a dark, mysterious feel that I find intriguing.
The next photo was taken in Silver Spring, MD during the fall of 2010. Walking to the parking garage from a friends apartment, I saw an empty baby stroller leaning against a parked car on the side of the road. It was a gloomy, overcast night and this sight made me stop and take a picture.
When editing this photo I wanted to portray a desolate, deserted scene of a baby stroller no longer in use for a reason one might not want to know.
A review of the photos and the previously posted graphics provide a good insight into value of visual communication. Obviously, the graphics relate directly to the topic and the data provided by the charts were remarkably easy to interpret...nice selection! The key is whether a significant amount of information can be efficiently communicated in a short period of time. Your graphics do that. All four photos employ the "rule of thirds" and vary lighting. It provides good experience in how the color of an evening photo or one with street lighting can vary significantly depending on editing.
