Horizon Lines

Horizon Lines
Low Horizon Placement

This photo is of a low horizon placement. The low horizon affects the image by giving it a dramatic effect and comparing the size and height of the rainbow to the land. It improves the image by bringing the main focus to the subject, which is the rainbow. The low horizon catches the eye and attracts it to the photo. This photo was taken using my digital camera on the bus ride to St. Paul.

Middle Horizon Placement

This photo is of a middle horizon placement. The middle horizon affects the image by balancing the amount of earth and sky. Of the three placement locations, I think that this one, the middle horizon placement is the least effective because it doesn’t bring your eyes straight to the subjects, the airplanes. It detracts from the image because it is in the middle of the photo where the subjects are too, and doesn’t bring the main focus to the subjects. This photo was taken using my digital at the Aviation Museum in Ottawa.

High Horizon Placement

This photo is of a high horizon placement. The high horizon affects the image by creating a distance between the camera and the horizon. It gives the photo depth, it improves the image by adding more detail and, it gives the photo a feeling of open-ness. The high horizon catches the eye and attracts it to all the different details in the photo. This photo was taken using my digital camera on my way home from St. Paul.
