A RTS 2001C: Week 3 - A ssignment 1 [ S torm hanging over town: S anders, Cindy]

This photo was taken just after sunrise in my hometown. We had a storm hanging over the main street that gave a lot of graphic detail. I was hoping to get a sunrise gut this cloud prevented that.

In this photo you can see clear horizontal lines from the highline wires to the storm front. There are layers formed from the trees, streetlights cars and buildings.

The storm cloud adds depth to the photo while the lights closer to the ground drawers a viewer ’s eye to them.

I wish I could have gotten a different angle but due to the area, that was not safe to attempt. Like all photographs, graphics are usually the result of edges, contrast, and other things that associates our eyes and minds.

The graphics in this photo are not as prominent as some photos but they are strong enough to get the viewer ’s eye and mind to recognize them.
