Image 10 - Motion

In this image there is again motion being shown through blur, from fast movements, but also  through form of the figure along with the content of the image.  There is eye movement created from the arm starting in the upper left corner and coming down towards the center of the image. Then from the blur of the cat pawing and the towel moving. Even though the figure is static, we can tell that is far from being completely still.  The image has energy, and from the content.  

Image 9 - Motion

This image depicts motion due to the repetition of the same, while having a blurring effect.  It's as if you are turning your head and everything you see is moving in slow motion.   This image implies movement with it's affect images of where it has been in relation to the camera.  It would have better motion if it extended the entire screen, I feel like this one has motion to it but it feels as if I am falling over, due to the diagonal bands I see above the lamp near the top of the frame.  Motion would be better read in this image if it would extend from corner to corner, or have been a bit lop sided.  I feel as if the motion in this picture is very quick, and stops abruptly.  As well as it's backwards for american culture, it's obvious the camera has moved from right to left, and that is opposite of normal eye movement for English reading cultures. So this movement seems to jam up the usual eye flow of an image.

Image 8 - Depth

In this photo this is very little depth depicted on a large scale.  There are small points of interposition in this image, like the card being in front of the vase, the vase being in front of the apron, or some of the pieces of bread being in front of each other.  But for the most part this is a rather flat image.  The flat wall behind all of this completely blocks of the user from seeing any depth, it's even textureless which makes it seem even more flat.  At least if it were a brick wall there would be areas of light and dark to help bring some small bit of depth in to it.  

Also the objects appear to be on the plain, because they are.  We can see the ground they are on, and one does not seem to be further to the viewer than the other.  Size wise they are depicted with each other in pretty good relation.  It is a very balanced photo.   There are very few receding lines to help us gauge the depth.  All in all this is a photo that is highly flat, with very small parts of depth sprinkled in.. 

Image 7 - Depth

In this image depth is through a couple of different methods.  The first is interposition. The viewer can tell that the chair is in front of the other objects because of it's position to overlap the other items.  This places the chair in the absolute foreground, with the items on the counter being behind it, and the garage door being behind all of the items, making it the background. 

Size plays a factor in this as well, along with space.  The size of the chairs back as compared to a mortar and pestle or a plastic bin is what it would be if they were placed together.  We can't even tell how large this chair is, we are only seeing a part of it but it still the largest single item in this picture and grossly out of proportion at that. That is also how it's space in the frame is creating depth, taking up quite a lot of it and still not having room to see the whole object makes the other objects seem smaller and further away.

Focus in this picture is also creating a sense of depth.  The most in focus item is nearest the forefront, just like you would see with your eyes, and the things further back in the field are harder to see.  

Image 6 - Depth 

This image conveys the sense of depth with the use of perspective and a vanishing point.  This means that objects that continue on in a straight line will seem to converge at a single point, which is one the horizon in a one point perspective.  It's a clever trick that has been used in drawing for centuries that helps fool the viewer in to thinking that the lines are receding back in to space.  

In this image not only does the footing of the brigde become narrower as it reaches the vanishing point, but the railing appears to be getting closer to each other, and the slats of the railing get closer and closer together until it is impossible to see through them. 

Also there is depth being created though size of foreground images as opposed to background images. If one looks at the post nearest to the left bottom hand corner, and compares its size in the frame to the size of one of the buildings in the background.  It is easy to tell that what is in the background is far back there, if you know the relative size of each of these things.  The mind then makes a judgment on how far you actually are.

Image 5 - Depth and Form (Mind if i do that?)

I can't put this image in to specifically one or the other because I believe it uses both depth and form to really come across.  It's a rather boring image but not the point!

First the images is creating form because of the heavy contrast of a black shape against a white stroke around the shapes.  It appears a bit silly, and if the image were brighter it would be more fun than it appears now.  The lines have a clear beginning and end, and they close off black areas making them in to shapes. Really dynamic shapes, they form a point much like a triangle would, so that gives this some energy, plus the mixture of the light and curvy lines makes it feel more whimsical as well.   This is at the point where these shapes begin to give the image depth because of interposition.  We can tell that the shape in the immediate foreground is the largest, not just because of the thickness of it's outline but because it is placed in front of the other shapes.  It's lines are not intersected by others, but it cuts off the other shapes, giving it the priority of being closest to the viewer. If we follow that rule we can easily see a recession of the shapes in to the background due to something being in front of it.
